A:Jerusalem already existed before the arrival of the Hebrews, so there would certainly have been a temple there, long before the time of Solomon. Scholars have even compared the description of King Solomon's Temple with the Canaanite temples found elsewhere, and say that Solomon's Temple appears to have been identical to traditional Canaanite temples. In fact, they say, it is possible that Solomon did not so much build a new temple as repair or improve an existing one.

King David was told to not build it, but to have his son build it. His son was Solomon. Answer 2 The above Answer does not address the Question. The answer is that the Temple was a huge undertaking, requiring years of effort by tens of thousands of builders, as recorded in 1 Kings.
