Isaiah was being sarcastic in his address to the mean Babylonian king who was now brought down from his self-assigned perch. It was Jerome who used the Latin name ‘Lucifer’ instead of repeating a long phrase from the text he was translating. Over the centuries the name Jerome used ‘accumulated’ a surrounding mythos. The original intent of the name was to substitute for the phrase, not rename Satan as Lucifer.

In other words i believed that he was just mocking the King.
Thanks .
