Would it be because the Israelites hadn't developed the way they view God and the angelical beings? What do you think?

God didn't write a Bible, he inspired it.God wrote the OT. You make it sound like the Jews were writing it and said less about Satan because they hadn't developed enough of a view yet.
God didn't write a Bible, he inspired it.
Question: "Who wrote the Bible?"
Answer: It is accurate to say that God wrote the Bible. According to 2 Timothy 3:16, Scripture is “breathed out” by God. Throughout the Bible, it is obvious that God is being quoted: over 400 times in the Bible, we find the words “thus says the Lord” (NKJV). The Bible refers to itself as the Word of God dozens of times (e.g., Psalm 119; Proverbs 30:5; Isaiah 40:8; 55:11; Jeremiah 23:29; John 17:17; Romans 10:17; Ephesians 6:17; Hebrews 4:12). The Bible is said to proceed from the mouth of God (Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4).
However, saying that God wrote the Bible does not mean He took pen in hand, grabbed some parchment, and physically wrote the text of Scripture. His “writing” of Scripture was not a physical action on His part. Rather, God’s authorship was accomplished through the process of inspiration, as human writers wrote God’s message.

Satan was still involved. He was the one who accused Job and tempted David to make a census.In OT times, people were not indwelt by God. In NT times, he set his followers over Satan.
He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. (1 John 3:8, 1984 NIV)
None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (1 Corinthians 2:8, 1984 NIV)
In OT times, people were not indwelt by God.
Same thing.

Inspiration is different from authorship.
