King Cyrus the Great of Persia.
After defeating Babylon, Cyrus the Great of Persia allowed the Jews (and other people) to return to their homeland in 538 BCE.
The Persian King Cyrus the Great allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their temple. After conquering Babylon in 539 BCE, he issued a decree permitting exiled Jews to return to their homeland and restore their religious practices. This event is documented in the biblical books of Ezra and Isaiah, highlighting Cyrus's role in facilitating the Jewish return and the rebuilding of the Second Temple.
Several rulers have allowed or urged Jews to return to Jerusalem. The three most famous rulers to do this are King Cyrus the Great of Persia, King Saladin the Ayyubite, and Prime Minister David Ben Gurion.

The dispersion of the Jews out of Jerusalem to Babylon.
The foreign ruler who restored Jerusalem to the ancient Jews was the Persian king, Cyrus the Great. In 538 BCE, Cyrus issued a decree allowing the Jews to return to their homeland and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem after their exile in Babylon.
Babylon sacked Jerusalem and destroyed the first temple in 586 BC and the Hebrews were expelled from their territory. When finally allowed to return to Israel, many decided to remain in Babylon or Egypt. From then on some of the Hebrew people have remained outside of Israel and are considered part of the diaspora. The Jews were again scattered when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD. Even today the majority of Jewish people live outside Israel.
The Jews were held captive in Babylon for a period of approximately 70 years. This exile began around 586 BCE, following the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem, and ended with the decree of Cyrus the Great in 538 BCE, which allowed them to return to their homeland. This period is significant in Jewish history and is often referred to as the Babylonian Exile.
He allowed the Judeans return to Judea to let them attempt to claim the ancestral land they lost when Babylon deported them to Babylon to stop them leading rebellions against its rule.
After the Persians captured Babylon, they did not force the conquered peoples to return to their homelands; they simply allowed them to do so if they wished. some Jews had established themselves in Babylon and had no wish to uproot themselves just to live in a distant homeland they had never seen.
The event that ended the captivity of the Jews, specifically the Babylonian Exile, was the decree of Cyrus the Great, the Persian king, in 539 BCE. After conquering Babylon, Cyrus allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their temple. This decree marked the beginning of the return of many exiled Jews to their homeland, fulfilling prophecies from the Hebrew Scriptures. The rebuilding of the Second Temple was a significant outcome of this event.
