Zerubbabel was the grandson of [[Jehoiachin]], the second to last King of [[Judah]]. Zerubbabel led the first band of Jews, numbering 42,360, who returned from the Babylonian Captivity in the first year of [[Cyrus]], King of Persia (Ezra). Zerubbabel is also noted for laying the foundation of the Second Temple in Jerusalem the next year. Outside these important events, little else is known about him.
