First, in plain English
Eighth month, October into November, and Solomon finished the temple in it.
Who this is
Bul was not a person but the name of the eighth month of the ancient Israelite calendar, corresponding roughly to October-November, in which Solomon completed construction of the temple (1 Kings 6:38). The name reflects a Canaanite term tied to the rainy season, and it was later replaced in common use by the Babylonian-derived name Marcheshvan after the exile.
