The temple was built for many reasons. To be a meeting place for God and his people, to glorify the name of God, and for the Israelite's sake. The temple was a visible reminder that God was with his people. In the same way that God did not require a king over his people he also did not require a temple to be built but rather it was the people that needed a king and needed the temple. See 1 Kings 5-9.

What is Solomons 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.
