Classic Star of David/Blue

The earliest known Jewish use of the hexagram was as a seal in ancient Israel (6th century B.C.E.) and then eight centuries later in a synagogue frieze in Capernaum. These early hexagrams may have been only ornamental designs. Although scholars have attempted to trace the Star of David back to King David himself; to Rabbi Akiva and the Bar Kokhba rebellion (135 C.E.); or to kabbalists, especially Rabbi Isaac Luria (16th century), no Jewish literature or artifacts document this claim. Rather, all evidence suggests that the early use of the hexagram was limited to Jewish magic, probably dating back to the 6th century C.E. Legends connect this symbol with the "Seal of Solomon," the magical signet ring used by King Solomon to control demons and spirits.
