The First Temple, built by David’s son Solomon in the year 2928 from Creation (833 BCE), stood for 410 years and was destroyed by the Babylonians in 3338 (423 BCE). After a 70-year interlude, the Second Temple was built, standing for 420 years until the Romans set fire to it in 3829 (69 CE).
The first Temple, built by King Solomon in approximately 1000 BCE, was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. When the Persians conquered the Babylonians almost a century later, they agreed to let the Jewish leaders who had been taken into exile return to the land of Israel where they would rebuild the Temple.
His father, King David, had wanted to build the great Temple a generation earlier, as a permanent resting place for the Ark of the Covenant which contained the Ten Commandments.
