Cyrus the Persian king married the sister of Zerubbabel, daughter of Salathiel, making her queen by Persian law. She urged the return of Israel from captivity to Jerusalem, insisting because of her brother, and Cyrus who loved her complied by gathering them in Babel.

He charged Zerubbabel to lead the people to Jerusalem in peace and rebuild their fathers' city. God called Cyrus his servant, shepherd and anointed of the Lord for this, as his seed entered David's through Meshayyanath. The Israelites went up from Babel in Cyrus's second year, Zerubbabel king and Joshua son of Yozadak son of Aaron high priest.
