He was the Persian king that issued the decree for the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls in 455 B.C.E. He is evidentally one of the four kings prophesied about at Daniel 11:1. This decree marked the begining of the prophesied "69 weeks" of years, until the Messiah Jesus Christ would appear. (Daniel 9:25-27) Centuries later, Jewish leaders were looking for the Messiah around the time that Jesus appeared in the year 29, because of the prophecy that Daniel recorded. (69 weeks of years=483 years; 455 B.C.E to 29 C.E.=483 years, or 69 weeks of years)
