The temple was not sanctioned by God, but was a deviation from devoted worship to Yahweh only. Apparently, Tel Arad contains pre-Abraham-era ruins. Located on a strategic trade route, Tel Arad was once prime real estate.

Tel Arad
I was a bit disappointed that we did not have time to tour Tel Arad. (With limited time off when working in Israel and Jordan, we just can't see it all!) Although I wanted to see the Israelite-period temple discovered there, I was content to view Tel Arad from the road as we passed by.
