The Israelite Temple of King Solomon

c. 960 BCE

Read while you listen

Because G-d refused David the task of building the Temple, due to the bloodshed during his battles in securing the land, the honour of the task fell on Solomon.

Solomon asked King Hiram of Tyre, who helped King David build his palace, to also partner with him in the building of the Temple as Tyre was not only known for its majestic Lebanon cedar trees but also their skillful stone masons.
