Thus it was that the temple of Jehovah came to be known throughout the nations as "Solomon's temple." The human agent had taken to himself the glory that belonged to the One "higher than the highest." Ecclesiastes 5:8. Even to this day the temple of which Solomon declared, "This house which I have built is called by Thy name" (2 Chronicles 6:33), is oftenest spoken of, not as the temple of Jehovah, but as "Solomon's temple."

Således gik det til, at man i de forskellige lande omtalte Herrens tempel som "Salomons tempel". Det menneskelige redskab havde taget den ære, der tilkom den Højeste. Selv i dag omtales det tempel, om hvilket Salomo havde sagt: "Dit navn er nævnet over dette hus, som jeg har bygget" (2Krøn. 6,33), oftere som "Salomons tempel" end som Herrens tempel.
