Best Answer

Cyrus was the king of Persia who defeated the Babylonian Empire and freed the Jews in Exile.

Cyrus is referred to in the Book of Isaiah, which shows great appreciation for his help and generosity.

Cyrus is also referred to in the Book of Daniel. Because Daniel attributes the defeat of the Babylonian Empire to King Darius, historically a successor to Cyrus, this book places Cyrus later in history.
