On the Bible timeline, the next major event after 2000 B.C. is placed at 1000 B.C.: the appearance of King David, followed by Solomon his son, who builds the first Temple. This is identified as the next big event in Old Testament history.
Les explains that after the Abrahamic Covenant period around 2000 B.C., the timeline moves to the next big event in Old Testament history at 1000 B.C., namely the appearance of King David. David is followed by his son Solomon, and Solomon builds the first Temple. Les also notes that Moses came about 500 years earlier, around 1500 B.C., and Moses gave Israel the Law. The Temple of Solomon stood only about 350-400 years, even though it was glorious, took 40 years to build, and was one of the wonders of the ancient world.
