Temple of Jerusalem
n : any of three successive temples in Jerusalem that served as
the primary center for Jewish worship; the first temple
contained the Ark of the Covenant and was built by
Solomon in the 10th century BC and destroyed by
Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC; the second was built in 515 BC
and the third was an enlargement by Herod the Great in 20
BC that was destroyed by the Romans during a Jewish
revolt in AD 70; all that remains is the Wailing Wall
[syn: {Temple of Solomon}]
