King Solomon built the temple in Jerusalem with the most extravagant resources available to him .It was built at Mount Moriah (a place where Abraham tried to sacrificed Isaac), that's why this place was the best choice for the temple. It is considered as the first Jewish temple in Jerusalem and was used for the religious practices. This temple was constructed in 10th century BCE .The temple was attacked many a times and was badly destructed by the Babylonians in 568 BCE.
A very sacred religious symbol the Ark of Covenant was lost when the temple was destructed. According to some Jewish scriptures this ark will remain hidden until the God gathers his people together again. Temple was rebuilt during the Persian period. Romans destroyed the temple completely in 70AD. Jews believe that the temple of Solomon will be rebuilt before the coming of Antichrist (the Jewish Messiah).
