He announced that he was permitting the Jews to return to Israel (Judea). 2 Chronicles 36:22-23. The Jews, by that time, comprised the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, since the other tribes had been exiled much earlier and never returned.

The Judean aristocracy, which had been deported to Babylon by the Babylonians to prevent uprisings in Judea, was allowed to return to Judea to claim beck their estates if they could prove their clam. Half did, the rest staying in Babylon where they had established theselves comfortably. Of the returnees, some succeeded, some failed in their claims. It should be noted that this was not all of the Jews. Ten of the 12 tribes were in northern Israel and their aristocracies had been deported by the Assyrians three centuries earlier, and disappeared. The mass of the population remained, as had the majority of the Judean lower classes later on.

Are Darius King of Persia and Cyrus King of Persia the same person?

No. Cyrus the Great was the Persian king who defeated the Babylonians and allowed the captive Jews (and other ethnic groups) to return to their homelands. Cambyses succeeded after the death of Cyrus, then Bardia (or Smerdis) usurped the throne while Cambyses was in the provinces, coincidently shortly before his death. Darius overthrew Bardia and ruled as king. The confusion between Cyrus and Darius arises because the Book of Daniel, believed to have been written in the second century BCE, incorrectly attributed the defeat of the Babylonians and the freeing of the Jews to Darius.AnswerThe bible clearly shows that Cyrus and Darius are different and shows that Cyrus was the one who released the Jews but because of the opposition, years later Darius had to search for the memorandum that Cyrus had written and order that the work be continued as it had stopped due to opposition from the surrounding people.
