I am making this thread because i want to know the meaning of the star of david. I am typing this on my 3DS because i am grounded from my laptop so i may make some mistakes in typing as it is not easy to do on a gameboy.So people have many theories as to the symbolism of the star of david which i think shined on the birth of jesus for the wise men to follow correct? some call it a star that symbolises war, others for the actual name of david somehow. but in my opinion doesn't it symbolise the coming of the messiah? because if so, why all the other interpretation of it?

The star of david is also geometrically described as a "Hexagram" and is used in black magic. That's where the phrase "Putting a hex on someone" originates from. Like prodigal suggests, the earliest I've heard about it being used is during Solomons reign (I'm not sure that's true or not but it's the earliest I've HEARD of it being used) but historically i don't think it came into widespread use as a symbol of Judaism until at least the third century. There has also been speculation that it went by the name "The star of remphan" back in ancient times (And that's mentioned negatively in the bible) but I haven't seen any actual proof of that.
My wife was reading up on that and said it was of an occultic origin. She read an orthodox Jewish web page that said the actual Jewish symbol was a menorah in times past. I've also heard the star with a dot in the middle of it was used a lot in Islamic art and they sometimes associated it with Solomon.
IMO, it is unlikely it goes back to David.

I'd like to hear from someone steeped in Jewish history. The star of David is used universally by most Jews. They wear it around their necks, it is used to decorate their houses....all over. I am sure they would be offended at the occult reference - which I personally think is bogus. The Star of David has 6 points and a pentagon, which is used by occultists, has 5 sides or points.
Wiki 'pentagon' (not The Pentagon) and 'Star of David' and get a start on your discovery process. (Wiki is not perfect, but is sometimes a good place to start.)

Hexagram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What's on that page is only barely scratching the surface of what the symbol is/has been used for.

totally from jewish magic...most rumors relating it to David and Solomon are unlikely
redsheild star of David comes from the Rothchilds which put Israel together...heavy
into Kabbalah which is no secret. Its certainly a occultic symbol. regardless what
symbols were used in ancient Israel...the modern flag of Israel is from Rothchilds.

there is a lot of misinformation about the star of david and its origins...
before it was called the 'star of david' it was called the 'seal of solomon'...in reality it has nothing to do with either david or solomon...
it also didn't originate from the occult...occultists just have an affinity for star symbols of all kinds...and geometric designs in general...
the real truth is much more boring...in the ancient middle east stars were commonly used as decorative motifs...especially the five pointed pentagram...the six pointed hexagram...and the eight pointed octagram...
in the distant past the jews used all three as decorations for manuscripts and synagogues and so on...over time the six pointed hexagram became the most widely used design...probably just due to the simplicity of drawing it...two triangles...
the kabbalists adopted the hexagram in their sigils in medieval times...it came to represent the jewish people in general in the 1600s when the government of vienna used it to identify the jewish quarter of the city on a boundary marker...
