...Talmud & Tanakh? From the 104 year old Jewish Encyclopedia: http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=38&letter=M&search=magen%20dawid
Entry: Magen Dawid (Star of David)
"The Jewish view of God, which permitted no images of Him, was and still is opposed to the acceptance of any symbols, and neither the Bible nor the Talmud recognizes their existence. It is noteworthy, moreover, that the shield of David is not mentioned in rabbinical literature. The "Magen Dawid," therefore, probably did not originate within Rabbinism, the official and dominant Judaism for more than 2,000 years."
