History
Cyrus, the Great
Darius, the Great
Old Testament, Ezra Chapter 1
Cyrus king of Persia released God's people from their
captivity, with license to return and build the temple in
Jerusalem: and restored the holy vessels which
Nabuchodonosor had taken from them.
Old Testament, Ezra Chapter 6
Darius finds the decree of Cyrus in the archives of
Achmetha (Hamadan), and directs Tatnai not to
disturb the Jews in their work. He also exempts them
from tribute, and supplies everything necessary for
the offerings. The Temple is finished in the month of
Adar, in the sixth year of Darius, and is dedicated
with great solemnity.
