Garland comments - Satan's first target of deception was Eve (Ge 3:4-5+; 2 Cor. 11:3; 2Ti. 2:14), but he has been at work deceiving nations all through history. He is the father of lies, there is no truth in him (John 8:44). Those through whom he deceives are most effective because they themselves are deceived (2 Ti. 3:13). Revelation 20:2+ And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old (cf Ge 3:1+), who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; Usually in Greek with the definite article (lacking article only in Mk 3:23, Lk 22:3, 2 Cor 12:7) and in personal address. (Mt 4:10; Mk 1:13; 3:26; Lk 11:18; 22:31). Gilbrant - In the Old Testament the Hebrew word sāṯān is widely used in its common sense of “adversary” and only in four books to refer to the prince of evil. In the general sense, the Angel of Jehovah is described as the sāṯān of Balaam when the latter went with the princes of Moab defying the will of God: “The angel of the Lord stood in the way for an adversary against him” (Numbers 22:22; cf. also verse 32 where the verb form is translated “withstand”). David referred to Abishai as his adversary (2 Samuel 19:22), as well as anyone who rendered evil for good (Psalm 38:20). Likewise, the political opponents of Solomon were his adversaries (1 Kings 11:14,23,25). Of the 31 uses of the noun and verb forms of the Hebrew word, 17 are references to the devil. These are found in Job (12 times in chapters 1 and 2), Zechariah (3 references, 3:1,2), Psalm 109:6, and 1 Chronicles 21:1 which J. Barton Payne cites as “perhaps the only use of the proper noun in the Old Testament” (“sāṯān,” Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament, 2:875). In these references the Septuagint uniformly translated the Hebrew sāṯān with the Greek word diabolos, the root of our English word devil. Thus the interchangeableness of the two terms Satan and devil find their origin in the Greek translation of the Old Testament.
