Temple Construction Begins

2 Chronicles 3:1-2

Then Shlomo began to build the house of ADONAI in Yerushalayim on Mount Moriyah, where ADONAI had appeared to David his father. Provision had been made for this at the place David had chosen, the threshing-floor of Ornan the Y'vusi.

He began building in the fourth year of his reign, on the second day of the second month.
