Saul

Alexander
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The First Temple was constructed during the reign of David’s son, Solomon, and completed in 957 bce. Other sanctuaries retained their religious functions, however, until Josiah (reigned c. 640–609 bce) abolished them and established the Temple of Jerusalem as the only place of sacrifice in the Kingdom of Judah.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because he was a man of war, David was not permitted by the Lord to build a temple. The Lord promised David, however, that his son would reign in peace and build a temple (see 1 Chronicles 22:8–10).

Detailed explanation-3: -The prayer Solomon offered to dedicate the temple is found in 1 Kings 8:22–54. Solomon prayed that the temple would be a blessing to the people in some specific ways. Many of these ways still apply to our temples today.
