The term "Star of David" or "Shield of David" with the hexagram shape dates to the 17th century. The earliest Jewish usage of the symbol was inherited from medieval Arabic literature by Kabbalists for use in talismanic protective amulets (segulot) where it was known as a Seal of Solomon.
The Seal of Solomon,also called The Ring of Solomon; it is a signet ring attributed to King Solomon in medieval Jewish tradition, later also in Islamic and Western occultism. It was often depicted in either a pentagram or hexagram shape; the latter also known as Shield of David or Star of David in Jewish tradition.
It is said that the ring gave Solomon the power to command demons, genies or jinni, or to speak with animals. Solomon's signet ring, and its supposed design, came to be seen as an amulet or talisman; a symbol or character in medieval and Renaissance-era magic, occultism, and alchemy.
