King David used the Star of David

Letter Shapes Hal mentioned the Latin "V" shape that operated as our letter "U". In my second sentence I stated the Hebrew letter UAU looked like our capital letter "Y", not a "V" shape. The Greek Upsilon (in appearance the shape Y) in its uncial form looks like our capital letter "Y", adopted its shape from the original palaeo-Hebrew letter. The Greek Upsilon (Y) went into Latin and lost its lower stem, rendering its appearance the shape "V". GLADIVS is the Latin word for sword, so the shape "V" operated exactly like our letter "U". An "alphabet" and a "language" are two distinctly different things. At this moment, we are writing the English language, yet using Latin letters. French, Italian, and Spanish also use the Latin alphabet, yet the LANGUAGES will often use the Latin alphabet to convey the ideas very differently. Green is how we write the color green, but VERDE means the same in Italian. Insignia The armies of the ancient world would engage one another using "banners". They displayed symbols of their rulers, or in the case of Rome, their solar deity. The eagle represented RA to the Egyptians, as it did to the Persians, and many others kingdoms. Beasts of various kinds depict the national persona of ancient and modern kingdoms, and even rival sports teams. The banner of Yisharal would have been quite different from their rival kingdoms. A banner (Hebrew, nisi) is a flag or signal. If the armies of Yisharal went into battle, it is most likely they carried a banner with either the Name of Yahuah on it, or the seal of the king, perhaps written as we see it today, two inverted triangles. Archaeology is slowly catching-up to the historical record found in the Word of Yahuah (Sefer, or Scripture). There is a prophetic utterance from a man commonly known as "Isaiah" that describes a banner: "And in that day there shall be a Root of Aishai, standing as a banner to the people. Unto Him the gentiles shall seek, and His rest shall be esteem." Isaiah / YashaYahu 11:10 It is interesting the man "Aishai" (mis-transliterated as Jesse) was the father of Daud, the 2nd king of Yisharal. The Mashiak, Yahusha of Natsarith, is to reign at His second coming upon the throne of Daud. The seal of Daud may yet be proven to have been used by Daud, as the tendency for archaeologists is to find older and older discoveries. It is more likely than not to turn up eventually, which is why in my opinion we should keep our options open. The prophetic Word remains secure in any case. Archaeology is mostly guesswork, and interpreting its finds is highly dependent upon the predisposed views of the observer. Some "historians" and revisionist scholars have cast doubt on the existence of anyone named Daud, or that there was ever a kingdom over which he ruled as described in Scripture. Bullae, coins, pottery, and reliefs are hard physical evidence found in the Earth that cry out the names of many of the kings and characters found described in the TaNaK, so there can be no doubt king Daud was a real person. It also helps to give credibility to his existence that Yahusha mentioned him. Having walked on water, and raised Himself from the dead, Yahusha is a more credible witness than a modern scholar who thinks the "Phoenicians" somehow gave the Yisharalites the Hebrew script. Herodotus invented the word "Phoenician", meaning "date-palm", as he referred to the population residing in the area we call the land of Yisharal. Yisharal was a "sea empire" having colonies all along the coasts of the Mediterranean, the British Isles, and even the Americas. Herodotus wrote that they "claimed" to have sailed outside the "pillars of Hercules" (Gibralter) and entered the outer sea, sailed south around Africa, and reached India. He thought such a claim was ridiculous, being a flat-earther. Yisharal knew the Earth is round over 1000 years before Greece and Rome became land empires. Yisharal was the sea empire which Herodotus referred to as "Phoenicians". Archaeology is an attempt to interpret the people, culture, and architecture of past civilizations. As a discipline within history, we should approach it with an open mind. A proverb comes to mind: "He who answers a matter before he hears it, It is folly and shame to him." Proverbs 18:13
