Ezra 4:24

[After a forward-looking section (with an introduction in verses 4-5 and examples from a letter in verses 6-23) that indicates future opposition, the chronological narrative from verse 3 resumes here.]
Thus the work on the house of God in Jerusalem ceased. It was prevented until the second year of the reign of the Persian king Darius [520 BC].
[Darius I took power in Persia after the civil war following the death of Cambyses. A few years into his reign, the political situation had stabilized (except for some battles with Egypt in 518-519 BC). Under Darius' reign from 522 to 486 BC, the Persian Empire reached its heyday.]
