(1Chronicles 22:1-4; 29:1-5) David collected what was needed for the building of the Temple, giving contributions for the construction of the prospective temple to the amount of more than $1,202,000,000, including the plans themselves, which he got through inspiration(1Chronicles 28:11, 19)
but David could not build the temple because he was a man of war.(1Kings 5:2-18)
God said: "Blood in great quantity you have spilled, and great wars you have waged. You will not build a house to my name, for a great deal of blood you have spilled on the earth before me." (1Chronicles 22:8; 28:3) However, God promised that the kingship would remain in David's family, and his son Solomon, whose name is from a root meaning "peace," would build the temple.-2Samuel 7:1-16, 25-29; 1Chronicles 17:1-27; 2Chronicles 6:7-9; Psalms 89:3, 4, 35, 36(2Chronicles 3:1-4:22)
The builder of the temple had to be a man of peace, because he was a FOREshadow of the coming Messiah.
Solomon, who's kingdom rule was peaceful for as long as he was faithful to God, prefigured Jesus, who would set up an EVERLASTING Kingdom. (2Samuel 7:12-16) (Romans 1:3); (Luke 1:32).

For observant Jews there could only be one Temple: the Temple in Jerusalem. As a Jewish priest, Zechariah must have served in this Temple.
If referring to temples in Jerusalem, it could be the Temple Mount. This is one of the ancient Jewish temples.
He was the contemporary of King David. He instructed David as to who would build the First Temple, and he rebuked David for the incident of Uriah.
The temple built by Solomon was the first permanent temple structure in the history of the Jewish people. Prior to that time worship was performed in tabernacles, or tents. The first tents of worship were created when the Jews wandered in the wilderness for 40 years after being delivered from Egypt. Even after entering the Promised Land, though, no permanent structure was built. King David wanted to do so, but God did not allow it, telling him that his son, Solomon, would do so.
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.
It was the desire of David to build a house for the Lord, but David could not because of his past deeds. But God told David that he would allow Solomon to build a house, so the children of Israel would have a permanent worship center where they knew God abode. Read 2nd Samuel chapter 7 and 1st Kings chapter 5.

Jerusalem is the center of Judaism. It is important because it was the site of the Akeidah (Binding of Isaac, in Genesis ch.22) and was later the seat of the Davidic Kings, when King David, Israel's greatest king, founded the dynasty that ruled Judah for much of its history, making Jerusalem the capital of the United Kingdom of Israel during his reign and that of his son, King Solomon. Most importantly, it was the location of the Holy Temple, built by King Solomon. This is why when the Temple was to be rebuilt by Ezra, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem was the proper place for it to be rebuilt. Jerusalem is called the holy city by the prophets (Isaiah 52:1). It was where Jews would go three times a year to celebrate the holiest festivals (Deuteronomy ch.16). Tradition also teaches that Jerusalem is the site where God took the earth from which Adam, the first man, was formed. Jerusalem, because it is the first place on Earth where the spirit of God dwelt, is considered sacred, and a direct link to God. Jerusalem is also the focal point of prayer of the Jews. When they pray, wherever they are, they face towards Jerusalem (Talmud, Berakhot 30a), with love and longing. The sentiment is aptly expressed in Psalm 137: "By the waters of Babylon, there we sat and wept as we remembered Zion....". It continues to say: "If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its wisdom."
