Question
How did king Solomon's worship house fell?

Answer
The temple which Solomon erected to the Lord about 966 B.C. was destroyed by Nebachanezor in 586 B.C.  This was the time after most of the people of Israel had deserted God and went after idol worship.  The time is often called the "Babylonian Captivity of the Jews" and lasted around 80 years.

I studied Greek in earning my BA at a university and my DTh. and MDiv. at an accredited seminary. I was a diviity student at both the university and seminary, spending most of those eight years studying the Bible.
