The answer is: Solomon

1 Kings 6:1 - Solomon, the son of David, is renowned for his wisdom and wealth, which he used to construct the first temple in Jerusalem around 957 BC. This monumental feat not only symbolized Israel's national identity but also fulfilled God's promise to David about establishing a house of worship (2 Samuel 7:12-13). Interestingly, this temple served as a central place for Jewish worship until its destruction and eventual rebuilding in later years, connecting it deeply with both history and prophecy.
