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.


Who was Zerubbabel?

Zerubbabel was the head of the tribe of Judah during the time of the return from the Babylon exile. With the blessing of Cyrus of Persia (Ezra 1:1-2), Zerubbabel and Jeshua the high priest led the first band of captives back to Jerusalem. He was the prime builder of the second Temple, which was later re-constructed by King Herod. Zerubbabel was the grandson of Jehoiachin, the captive king of Judah (1 Chr. 3:17).
