Solomon'S Temple
Solomon'S Temple [1]
This temple erected by Solomon was many times pillaged during the course of its history, (1) 1 Kings 14:25,26; (2) 2 Kings 14:14; (3) 2 Kings 16:8,17,18; 2Kings 2 Kings 18:15,16 . At last it was pillaged and destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar ( 2 Kings 24:13; 2 Chronicles 36:7 ). He burned the temple, and carried all its treasures with him to Babylon ( 2 Kings 25:9-17; 2 Chronicles 36:19; Isaiah 64:11 ). These sacred vessels were at length, at the close of the Captivity, restored to the Jews by Cyrus ( Ezra 1:7-11 ).
