I couldn’t remember if it was Cyrus or Darius.

It was Cyrus who paid the ransom and freed the Jews from Babylonian captivity. He then decreed that Jews should go back and re-build their temple.

However, it was Darius who actioned Cyrus’ decree after Cyrus died, and also helped the Jews finance the re-building of their temple.
