Best Answer

Cyrus the Great after taking over the Babylonian Empire, gave the aristocracy of Judea, who had been deported to Babylon by the Babylonians to stop them promoting revolts against their rule, the option of returning to try to reclaim their estates. Some took the offer, some decided they were better off where they were, half returned to Judaea where some were successful in reclaiming estates and resettled, others failed.
