Herod did not build the Second Temple.

The temple was started by Zerubbabel in about B.C.537. The alter was build at that time so that sacrifices could begin. But then some trouble arose from outsiders and work was stopped. It was resumed later and semi-finished in B.C. 516. The temple was never as complete as Solomons temple and it wasn't until the time of Herod the Great (20 or 21 B.C.) that a great construction began to almost completely redo the temple.

Did king herold build the first temple?
No. King Solomon, the son of King David built the first temple. That temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in 587 B.C. After the captivity, Cyrus of Persia allowed Zerubbabel the prince of Judah to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple (second temple). Tradition tells us that Zerubbabel fell short in architectural measurements and over the years the temple was starting to decay. In 20 B.C. Herod the Great took the temple down to its foundations and started rebuilding it. This temple was built in 1 year and 6 months, but not completely. Work was done on this temple for many years, and it is said that work was still being done in the year 64 A.D., just 6 years before it was completely destroyed in 70 A.D. by the Romans.
