This *may be a reference to David.

““I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near; A Star shall come out of Jacob; A Scepter shall rise out of Israel, And batter the brow of Moab, And destroy all the sons of tumult.”
‭‭Numbers‬ ‭24‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Genesis 15:4-6
21st Century King James Version
4 And behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, “This shall not be thine heir, but he that shall come forth out of thine own loins shall be thine heir.”

5 And He brought him forth outdoors and said, “Look now toward heaven and count the stars, if thou be able to number them.” And He said unto him, “So shall thy seed be.”

David to Solomon as an inheritance.

From the wiki about the book: The story's title is taken from a reference to Psalm 147:4, in which the writer relates that God has numbered all the stars and named each of them. This coincides with the Star of David, which Ellen Rosen wears on her necklace and is a symbol of Judaism.
