Prior to the Babylonian Exile, Judaism had no heaven or hell - souls of the dead simply went to a place of rest, sheol, regardless of the life that had been led. There was no Satan and no angels. The notion of Satan entered Judaism during the Babylonian Exile, so no biblical Book written before that time contains any reference to Satan. Chronicles was actually written during the Exile, as a revision to the Deuteronomic History, and thus is the first book in The Bible to contain the name Satan. 1 Chronicles 21:1: "And Satan stood up against Israel and provoked David to number Israel."

Because Kings (part of the Deuteronomic history) was written before the Exile, the corresponding passage contains no mention of Satan. Also: in the King James Version, Psalms 109:6 refers to Satan. The Hebrew Masoretic text (in English translation) for Psalm 109:6 refers to an Adversary.
