Generally speaking, it is alrteady a technical term.
And this term is not used by the Yahad !!!
You are dealing, thus, with Satan-terminology of
the long-living predecessor sect of the mxhqq,
IMO the philosophical root of the Essenes in Josephus et par.

I think you are attributing to David things I said.
In any case, I ask again, is satan a name or a common noun in these texts?
