Solomon built the first temple. This temple was destroyed by the Romans but later rebuilt.
King Solomon, son of David built the first temple. It was destroyed in B.C. 587. After the seventy year captivity Zerubbabel returned and began to rebuild the temple in B.C. 536, but it was not until B.C. 516 that the temple was complete. After that Herod the Great expanded and took some of it down to the foundations and rebuilt it in a more splendid manor. Herod the Great died in B.C. 4, but the building continued until A.D. 40. In A.D. 70 the Romans destroyed the temple and as yet it has not been rebuilt.
