It seems that even David himself had no knowledge of the 'Star of David'.Here is what one authority states about the 'Star of David':"The origins of the Star of David are unclear.""The Star of David is not mentioned in rabbinic literature until the middle ages.""It doesn't have any religious significance in Judaism but it is one of the symbols most commonly associated with the Jewish people."So if it does not even have any 'religious significance' in Judaism; why would it have any significance among Jehovah's Witnesses.
