The Shield of David (or Magen David, מגן דויד) symbolises the Nation of Israel living all over the world.
The legend states that it was the shape of King David's Shield, though the symbol itself is not known to have existed in Biblical Times. It first started appearing in the Middle Ages.
The points on the star have no special significance assigned to them in Judaism.

∙ 7y agoOriginally, this symbol,, the Star of David, was one of many religious and cultural symbols that Judaism made use of. It doesn't seem to be like it was before when most all Jews, along with numerous Christians, were brought up to believe that this symbol represents King David and his Royal Line- the House of David. Back then it seemed well understood that the Star of David represented the Royal line of Israel- the State, rather than the Church. This may be why a great many Sheriff's badges were six-pointed and looked very similar to the Star of David. They are still in existence today, except in lesser numbers due to the current popularity of five-pointed or seven-pointed Star Badges.
Due to a variety of factors, most especially because of the Yellow Jewish Star the Nazis forced all Jews to wear throughout Europe during World War II, the symbol's importance and meaning has drastically changed. The Star of David was once reserved to represent Israel's Royal Family, but has now emerged to become the primary symbol used to represent Judaism and the Jewish people. Never has the Star of David meant to symbolize so much for such a large amount of people.
