The second creation account in Genesis (2:4b-2:25) says that Eve was the first woman God created - some time after he created Adam. However, Jewish scribes long ago noticed that the first creation account (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) also states that woman was created at the same time as man ("both male and female"). The two creation stories should be read independently of each other, scrupulously avoiding reading into the second story any facts or notions taken from the first.
However, a rabbinic tradition is that this first woman was Lilith, and that she was Adam's first wife. She left him and flew away because Adam would not let her be on top during sexual intercourse. In this interpretation, Yahweh created Eve in the second story because Adam was still single and needed company. By means of two relatively recent traditions, one obvious inconsistency between the two creation accounts has been rationalised. In Hebrew mythology, Lilith was the Demoness of desolation, obsession, and madness.

Is Lilith Satan's wife?
A:Lilith and Satan are never mentioned together in the Bible. There is no suggestion in any Jewish midrash or tradition that Lilith was Satan's wife. However, a Jewish tradition is that she was Adam's first wife, but that she flew away because Adam would not allow her to be on top when having sex.
Is Lilith in King James Bible?
No, this is part of Jewish mythology and Babylonian Talmud. There is a current school of thought that says this Hebrew term for 'night' is referenced in Isaiah 34:14 but that does not list this term as a woman or wife of Adam.
