1Kings 6:1 says Solomon began building the temple in the fourth year of his reign. Since he began his reign in 970 B.C. That would mean he began construction of the temple in 966 B.C.

This verse also tells us that it was 480 years to the day after the Israelites left Egypt that work on the temple was begun. This would set the date of the exodus at 1446 B.C.

Why did GOD allow Solomon to build the temple?

Lets start from the exodus. The children of Israel led by Moses built the first tabernacle. It was made for traveling. That is it could be put up and taken down quickly and during the 40 year trek in the wilderness this was done a lot of times. Then when the children of Israel entered the Promised Land the tabernacle went with them for a short period of time and then it was placed in Shiloh were it remained for many years until the Philistines destroyed it. Then for some years parts of the tabernacle (Furniture etc) was scattered in different places in Israel. Then later it was put together by David the King and brought to Jerusalem. David wanted to build a more permanent building or temple for the Lord, but David was a man of blood (war) and was not allowed to build the temple, but he was allowed to gather materials etc for the building of the temple. God had decided that Solomon, King Davids son was the suitable person to build the temple, and so he did.


What religion is Solomon's Temple?

Solomon's Temple is regarded as the first temple of the Judaic faith, built by King Solomon himself. However, there are numerous references in the Bible, showing that the Temple was used extensively and continuously for the worship of many other gods, including the sun God and Asherah. On this evidence, Solomon's Temple could be regarded as also the temple of the early polytheistic faith of Judah.


Which king completed the building of the temple in Jerusalem?

In 2nd Samuel 7:2, King David said "Here I am living in a house of cedars while the Ark of the true God sits in the midst of tent cloths" expressing his feelings and desire to build the house for Jehovah (the temple). In verses 12 & 13, Jehovah told David that it was his son who would build the temple. David did much to collect many of the supplies needed to build the temple as recorded in 1 Chronicles 29:1-9. In 1 Chronicles 28:10, David tells his son "See, now, for Jehovah has chosen you to build a house as a sanctuary. Be courageous and go to work." (NWT)

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.
