This verse sets a historical and spiritual milestone for Israel, as it records the commencement of the Temple's construction by King Solomon. The timing, 480 years after the Exodus, underscores a long journey from slavery to establishing a permanent place for God's presence among His people. The Temple was more than just a building; it was a symbol of God's covenant and a focal point for worship, sacrifice, and community life. Solomon, known for his wisdom, undertook this monumental task in the fourth year of his reign, reflecting a period of peace and prosperity that allowed such an ambitious project. The month of Ziv, the second month, aligns with the spring season, a time of renewal and new beginnings, which is fitting for the start of this sacred construction. The Temple's construction was a fulfillment of God's promise to David, Solomon's father, and it represented a tangible connection between God and Israel, emphasizing the importance of faithfulness and obedience to God's commands.
In the four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites came out of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month, he began to build the temple of the Lord.
