Temple, the. Although tradition ascribes the idea of a national Israelite shrine at
Jerusalem to
David, the first Temple dates from the reign of
Solomon (
c.970–
c.930 BC). The building became the central sanctuary of the nation and here alone could sacrificial worship be offered. It was destroyed by the Babylonians
c.586 BC; its rebuilding (the ‘Second Temple’) was undertaken
c.520. The Temple buildings were reconstructed by Herod the Great. This was the Temple standing in Christ's time. With the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, the Temple worship ceased.
