פירוש על מלכים א 3:3

And Shlomo loved Adonoy, he conformed to the decrees of his father Dovid. [During the first] four years, before beginning to build the Beis [Hamikdosh]. But once he began to build and Shlomo married Pharaoh’s daughter, consequently it states, “for as a provocation of anger and of fury has this city has been to me from the day that they built it until this day.”⁵Yirmiyahu 32:31. Thus we learned in Seder Olam. We learn that the passages are not written in chronological order.

Upon improvised altars he brought sacrifices. The text discusses his dishonor, [this occurred] because he delayed the construction of the Beis [Hamikdosh] four years.⁶Alternatively, Shlomo desired to attain prophetic revelation by offering sacrifices.—Ralbag
