959 BC

959 BCIsrael [churches and temples]The temple of King Solomon of Israel and Judah in Jerusalem is completed. He proceeds to build palaces for himself and his wives. According to the Old Testament, Solomon's temple is made of ashlar stone and with liberal use of gold. However, at 27m/90 ft by 9 m/30 ft (taking the cubit at 46 cm/18 in) it is still smaller than his palace, which measures some 46 m/150 ft by 23 m/75 ft. Solomon's temple is said to be designed more to Canaanite standards than Jewish.
