Nebuchadnezzar II

Explanation:

Solomon's Temple has been a sacred site for the Jewish people. This temple had a central role in Jerusalem and the religion of the Jews. The Solomon's Temple has been destroyed though, and that was done by the king of the Babylonian Empire, Nebuchadnezzar II. Nebuchadnezzar II was not very fond of the Judaism and its followers, nor he was very tolerant to other religions, so he once he conquered a territory he order the destruction of certain sites that had big meaning to the locals. Not just the religion, but also he was not fond of the Jewish people themselves, and they experienced a great deal of suffering under Babylonian rule, with many Jews being persecuted from their homeland. Once the Babylonians weakened and Judah was independent again, Solomon's Temple was rebuilt, and this is why the terms First Temple and Second Temple are used.
