Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Satan stood up against Israel and incited David' supplies the only clear OT instance of Satan inciting a sin within the covenant people; Peter's 'why has Satan filled your heart' (v. 3) draws on this conception of satanic instigation prompting an act against God.

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'The devil having already put into the heart of Judas to betray him' echoes the Satan who 'stood up against Israel and incited David.' The pattern of the adversary inciting a human agent to a destructive deed coheres with the fuller 'Satan entered into him' of 13:27. Availability and recurrence in Second-Temple Satan-tradition support the link.
Medium confidence'Satan entered into him' completes the inciting-adversary pattern begun in 13:2, recalling the Satan who moved a man to a ruinous act. The intensification from 'put into the heart' to 'entered' tracks Second-Temple demonological development. Coherence is strong.
Medium confidenceSatan 'incited' David to a course that brought ruin, a parade case of the adversary gaining advantage over a leader. Paul's anxiety not to give Satan an opening fits this pattern. Low confidence: thematic only, one of several OT satan-scenes available.
