Yair Davidiy sent me a list of links to those of his Brit-Am newsletters that mention Stars of David. In "Brit-Am Now 432" I found a very interesting info wrote by James Trimm about a bass relief sculpture of King Jehu and about a magen david with YAH written in Hebrew in it that dates to the time of the Judges and was found at Gibeon (From the book THE NAME OF GOD by James R. Harris p. 205).
This blog (by Zeev Barkan) is dedicated to the Star of David, its history, its various meanings and usages in different cultures. It includes thousands of pictures of Star of David, six-pointed stars, hexagrams, Solomon's Seals, Magen Davids and yellow badges,and served as a resource for three books and four art exhibitions.
I found this photo of King Yehu on

It's from the British Museum and it is from the days of Shalmaneser III (858-824 BC).
If that is the same relief, as it probably is, then anyone can see that it is not a hexagram or Star of David.
