"In turn Solʹo·mon sent word to Hiʹram:+ 3 “You well know that David my father was not able to build a house for the name of Jehovah his God because of the wars waged against him from every side until Jehovah put his enemies under the soles of his feet.+ 4 But now Jehovah my God has given me rest on all sides.+ There is no one opposing me and nothing bad happening.+ 5 So I intend to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, just as Jehovah promised to David my father, saying: ‘Your son whom I will put on your throne in your place, he is the one who will build the house for my name.’+ 6 Now command your people to cut cedars of Lebʹa·non+ for me. My servants will work with your servants, and I will pay the wages of your servants according to the rate you set, for you" -1 Kings 5:2-6

"Solʹo·mon sent word to Hiʹram+ the king of Tyre: “Do for me as you did for David my father when you sent him cedarwood to build a house* to live in.+ 4 Now I am building a house for the name of Jehovah my God, to sanctify it to him, to burn perfumed incense+ before him, and also for the constant layer bread*+ and the burnt offerings, morning and evening,+ on the Sabbaths,+ on the new moons,+ and at the festival seasons+ of Jehovah our God. This is a lasting obligation for Israel. 5 The house that I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all the other gods. 6 And who is up to the task of building him a house? For the heavens and the heaven of the heavens cannot contain him,+ so who am I that I should build him a house except as a place for making sacrifices smoke before him? 7 Now send me a craftsman who is skilled in working in gold, silver, copper,+ iron, purple wool, crimson, and blue thread and who knows how to cut engravings. He will work in Judah and in Jerusalem with my skilled craftsmen, whom David my father has provided.+ 8 And send me timbers of cedar, juniper,+ and algum+ from Lebʹa·non, for I well know that your servants are experienced at cutting down the trees of Lebʹa·non.+ My servants will work along with your servants+ 9 to prepare for me great quantities of timber, for the house that I am to build will be extraordinarily great. 10 Now look! I will supply the food for your servants,+ the woodcutters who cut down the trees: 20,000 cors* of wheat, 20,000 cors of barley, 20,000 baths* of wine, and 20,000 baths of oil.”" -2 Chronicles 2:2

<< Construction of Tabernacle [Bezelel] >>

The temple may have been relatively small but it was extremely labour intensive. All the stone was cut at the quarry, so that it fit perfectly at the temple site. The stones were imported from Lebonon, as was the timber. The pillars were covered in copper (do you know how work intensive working copper is) and the doors overlayed with gold. The interior was entirely covered in solid gold carved with intricate figures and decoration. Without modern technology and transportation techniques, and with the cutters and lumber workers working on a rotation (Hebrew worksers worked in shifts of 10,000 for a month, with a two-month stay at home between shifts - 1Ki 5:13, 14) , the construction was completed in just 7 years.

Note: The total cost of materials and construction manpower would have covered not just the temple building but the courtyard, the dining rooms and the courtyard furnishings; the altar of sacrifice, the great “molten sea,” ten carriages for water basins, and other utensils . Further, Solomon did not spend the entire amount in building the temple; the remainder he put in the temple treasury
