The Bible doesn't say but if we could answer this question we would understand why evil exists.

I believe that you are correct, and I agree with you that these verses are speaking to that old devil, satan.

As with the earlier verse, unfortunately, my obviously defective memory tells me that certain FR Calvinists do not believe that these verses are about satan, rather, they believe that it ONLY describes the human person, "The King of Tyre."

As before, I am probably wrong about this memory, also.

p.s. I think that we might be able to discern, or deduce, from the Bible, a lot more about this "problem of Evil." (But, it wouldn't be easy or quick.)

Well, I just heard a Calvinist talk about this topic and he felt it referred to Satan. The key is "was in the Garden of Eden" which the king of Tyre was not.
