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.


How long did it take to build the 2nd Temple?

According to traditional chronology, the Second Temple was built in 352 BCE (not 516).The First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. Then, in about 538 BCE, Cyrus the Great decreed that a second temple be built in Jerusalem. The Second Temple was finally completed under King Darius I, in 521 BCE.An alternative viewpoint, put forward by some conservative Jews, is that it was actually completed in 352 BCE. This is based on the Chazal, which they regard as indisputably right, although written long after the events. The Chazal compresses the Persian period from a period of 208 years, with ten kings, to only 52 years, with four kings. It also says that Darius I was the predecessor of Cyrus the Great, rather than his successor (after Cambyses), in line with the Book of Daniel but in spite of the rather more reliable Book of Isaiah, supported by Second Chronicles and the Book of Ezra (eg Ezra chapter 4).
