1 Kings 6:1 "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."
1 Kings 6:38 "In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details according to its specifications. He had spent seven years building it."
1 Kings 9:10 "At the end of twenty years, during which Solomon built these two buildings—the temple of the Lord and the royal palace—"
Looks like 7 years for the temple itself, and a total of 20 years for the temple, the palace, and all of the additional building projects associated with it such as the "courtyard of the priests" etc.
It was destroyed in 586/7 BCE and rebuilt and rededicated in 516/7 BCE. It was destroyed again in 70 CE.
