HT Jim West, "The Origin of Evil Spirits in Early Jewish Literature"

http://bibleinterp.com/articles/2015/04/wri398023.shtml

Having written quite a bit about Mark Driscoll's rather peculiar and idiosyncratic notions about spiritual warfare and diabology, it seemed useful to throw in a link from a scholar on recent ideas about that set of topics.

Jeffrey Burton Russell's quintet of books on the history of thought about evil personified are a good set of reference guides, too, for those with an interest in that stuff.
