I highly doubt they'd make him the actual Devil (Lucifer), since people still actively believe in Christianity, and giving the Bible's stories and characters a Once twist might rub people the wrong way. Though David being the same one from "David and Goliath" would be amazing. Or would have been amazing, if "Tiny" hadn't already pretty much done it. And badly. David is based on the Bible's David. His mother's name is Ruth while Bible's David's grandmother is Ruth (and she even has her own story, Both were shepherd turned kings and king George is an allusion to king Saul. King George wanted to kill David just like King Saul wanted to kill Bible's David and both David's succeeded as kings. But Bible David was controversially in a homosexual relationship with Prince Jonathan, before marrying Jonathan's sister. Here, Jonathan is the father of Zelena and Charming's first love is the female Snow.

And I don't recall King Saul hating David, but then again, I haven't read the Bible past the 10 Plagues of Egypt. The homosexual relationship is just an interpertation. They were really close friends. OUAT's Jonathan us not the Bible's Jonathan. King Saul wanted to kill David.
