History of Asmodeus

According to the Kabbalah , a succubus, mated with King David and bore Asmodeus.

In the Book of Tobias {Tobit} .  A woman named Sarah prays for death , she has lost seven husbands to the demon of lust, Asmodeus, who kills every man she marries on their wedding night before the marriage can be consummated. God sends the angel Raphael, disguised as a man, to free Sarah from the demon , she was instructed by Raphael to burn fish liver and heart on the embers for incense. Asmodeus was repelled by the odor.  A tradition or legend arose that the demon loved or lusted after Sarah and slew her grooms through jealousy or Wrath.

".. always hatching plots against newlyweds; I mar the beauty of virgins and cause their hearts to grow cold"
- Testament of Solomon 5:7

In the Testament of Solomon , Solomon invokes Asmodeus to aid in the construction of the Temple. The demon appears and predicts Solomon's kingdom will some day be divided.

"My constellation reclines in its den in heaven; some men call me the Great Bear, but others the Offspring of a Dragon. Moreover, a smaller constellation accompanies my constellation, for the high position and throne of my father is always in the sky. So do not ask me so many things, Solomon, for eventually your kingdom will be divided. This glory of yours is temporary. You have us to torture for a little while; then we shall disperse among human beings again with the result that we shall be worshiped as gods because men do not know the names of the angels who rule over us." - Testament of Solomon 5:4-5

After Asmodeus had spoken, Solomon ordered him to state his name and activities, to which the demon responded that he  " Is always hatching plots against newlyweds; I mar the beauty of virgins and cause their hearts to grow cold"
- Testament of Solomon 5:7

Asmodeus in The Hierarchy of Hell

According to a 16th Century German Jesuit priest and demonologist Peter Binsfield , the 7 princes of Hell equate to the 7 deadly sins.  Asmodeus follows Lucifer and Mammon in the Hierarchy of Hell.   Binsfield was also involved in the inquisition era witch hunts and wrote "The Confession of Warlocks and Witches", which advocated torture as a means of extracting confessions from suspected Witches.  Binsfields Hierarchy runs as follows...

Lucifer
Mammon
Asmodeus
Satan
Beelzebub
Leviathan
Belphegor

 

Asmodeus in Literature Milton writes in Paradise Lost Better pleased Than Asmodeus with the fishy fume That drove him, though enamored, from the spouse Of Tobit's son, and with a vengeance sent From Media post to Egypt, there fast bound. - Paradise Lost , iv. 167--71.
