The discovery of the ancient temple is perhaps the most intriguing find in the fortress, as it is the only temple from that era found within the Kingdom of Judah. At the time, religious services in Judea were exclusively held in the Temple in Jerusalem, and all other forms of worship were prohibited.

However, the discovery of this temple raises questions about the uniqueness of the Jerusalem Temple and suggests religious similarities between the two. The temple was oriented from east to west, with an altar in front of it. Inside was an Elevation for Offerings, and the farthest western part housed the Holy of Holies.

The temple existed for roughly two centuries before its destruction, likely during the Jewish king Hezekiah's struggle to maintain the Jerusalem Temple's exclusivity among the Jewish people. Despite its defeat, the discovery of this temple provides valuable insights into the religious practices and beliefs of the time. In addition, it offers a glimpse into the complex and diverse history of the region.
