The First Temple was a time of great joy for Judaism. I am sure there is a cite that can tell it better than I. But, the First Temple of the Hebrew faith existed from 883 BCE to 586 BCE.
...In the fourth year of his reign, (click here) 833 BCE, King Solomon found himself at peace with his neighbors and began the construction of the Temple. The site chosen by King David was the top of Mount Moriah, where Abraham had once proved his readiness to offer up his dearly beloved son in obedience to G‑d's command....
It would be the Babylonians that would destroy the First Temple. It is interesting stuff if one wants to understand the momentum of history.
