Like most Near Eastern temples, the Temple in Jerusalem was a place where sacrifices took place. Certainly animal sacrifices, and given that The Bible (eg 2 Kings 21:6) says the kings of Judah performed human sacrifices, we can perhaps assume they performed these in the Temple as well.
The Bible indicates that the Temple was a place of worship for many gods, not just the God who has come down to us in modern Judaism and in Christianity: Ezekiel 8:14 describes women in the Temple "weeping for Tammuz" - the Semitic god condemned to hell by the goddess Astarte after she was crucified and resurrected. There must have been a whole cult around Astarte and Tammuz, with annual rituals of death and resurrection.
Ezekiel8:16 says, "And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east." The kings of Judah actually kept horses dedicated to the sun and there were chariots for the sun kept in the Temple until they were removed by King Josiah as inimical to monotheism (2 Kings 23:11).
In these and other ways, the First Temple was not much different from any other Near Eastern Temple before the advent of monotheistic Judaism under King Josiah.

The only Temple attributed by the Jews to King Solomon is the Temple destroyed by the Babylonians after the defeat of Judah and the exile of the Jews .
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.
