What major event in Bible timeline history happened around 1000 B.C.?

The period around 1000 B.C. is marked by the appearance of King David, followed by his son Solomon, who built the first Temple. This era stands as the next major event after the Abrahamic period, roughly a thousand years before Christ’s first advent.

Les explains that after the Abrahamic Covenant period, the next big event in Old Testament history occurred around 1000 B.C.: the appearance of King David and then Solomon his son, who built the first Temple. All of this fell within a few years of 1000 B.C. Five hundred years earlier, around 1500 B.C., Moses gave Israel the Law. From Christ’s first advent back to David, Solomon, and the building of the Temple is again about 1000 years. Solomon’s Temple was glorious and beautiful, took 40 years to build, was one of the wonders of the ancient world, yet stood only about 350–400 years.
