The Book of First Kings, chapter seven

As for his house, Solomon built it in thirteen years and completed all his house. 2 And he built a house of the forest of Lebanon, its length a hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its thickness thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar beams upon the pillars. 3 And a ceiling protruding from above on the forty-five rooms that were on the pillars. Each row was fifteen. 4 The ceilings are three stories, and the louver is opposite the louver three times. 5 And all the gates and the posts were square with roofs, and the front of the window was against the window three times. 6 And he made a portico for pillars, its length fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits, and another portico before it, and pillars and lintels in front of it. 7 And he made the porch of the throne where he spends that which is the porch of the judiciary, and he covered it prominently from floor to ceiling. 8 And his house, which he dwelt in another house, inside the porch was as this work: and he made a house for the daughter of Pharaoh, which Solomon had taken, like this porch. 9 All these are of precious stones, according to the measure of hewn stones, sawn with a saw, inside and outside, from the foundation to the eaves, and from inside to the great court. 10 And it was founded upon precious stones, great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits. 11 And above were precious stones, like hewed measures, and cedar. 12 And the great court roundabout had three rows of hewn, and a row of cedar beams: likewise, the inner court of the house of the Lord, and the porch of the house.

The Torah describes Solomon's Temple as a city, not a temple.

Petra is the Al-Aqsa Mosque

There is no doubt in any Arab source written before or after the Crusades that the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem, or Elijah city is Petra, and its location has been determined.
