Temple of Solomon
     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 Jerusalem}]
