Cyrus’s conquest and occupation of Babylon in …
Years: 537BCE - 526BCE
Cyrus’s conquest and occupation of Babylon in 539 BCE has enabled the Judahites to return to their erstwhile kingdom, with the permission of Cyrus, after nearly a half-century of captivity.
Led by Zerubbabel of the Davidic house, the Judahites return to Jerusalem to rebuild their Temple.
The political situation is extremely unfavorable, however, since Judah south of Hebron has been occupied by Edomites, while the tiny remainder north of Hebron has passed under the control of the governor of Samaria.
In time, some forty thousand Judahites reportedly make their way back to their ancestral land.
