The Judahites were freed from Babylonian captivity by King Cyrus of Persia in 538 BCE. Following his conquest of Babylon, Cyrus issued a decree that allowed the exiled Jews to return to their homeland and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. This event marked the beginning of the restoration of the Jewish community in Judah after decades of exile.
