DAVID'S OR SOLOMON'S An Investigation of the Six-Pointed Hexagram of Israel

*Publication pending* --- This book examines a question rarely asked: Why is the six-pointed hexagram called the "Star of David" when no historical evidence connects it to King David? Through rigorous analysis of primary sources including biblical texts, the Testament of Solomon, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Encyclopedia Judaica, this investigation traces the hexagram from its ancient Mesopotamian origins through its documented associations with King Solomon's demon-binding practices, its medieval emergence in Kabbalistic and magical traditions, and its political adoption in Prague in 1354—after which, by mainstream scholarly admission, "the movement to find Jewish sources that traced the symbol to the House of David" began. The evidence reveals a symbol laundering operation: a seal associated with Saturn, Moloch worship, and spiritual binding was rebranded with a beloved king's name to obscure its actual history. This book distinguishes clearly between examining a symbol and attacking a people, identifying ordinary Jewish communities as victims of this misattribution rather than its architects. At 33,000 words across 22 chapters with six appendices, this work presents the complete documented case that the Star of David is, in historical fact, the Seal of Solomon—and invites readers to verify every claim. --- A Kannsas-Malcolm Collaborative Work κ = 7.2
