King David, the leader of the Jewish people and prophet, was born in the sixth month of the Jewish calendar. The star - known as the King's star - has appeared on astrological artifacts dating back to the time of their exodus from Egypt, though David wasn't born until much later.
The symbol didn't become popular as a representation for the Jews until the middle ages when the Catholic church began to use it to designate Jewish ghettos.

The Jewish star of David is not used in Wicca. The Wiccan pentagram and the star of David are slightly different in appearance.
