From my understanding, God created adam and lilith. However, lilith was not subservient to adam, and hence was banished. God then created eve from adam in order to ensure her subservience. Could be wrong, feel free to correct me.
Edit: i was right and wrong. My lore is accurate, but it technically seems she is from jewish mythology, not christian. But given the links between the two and the fact that the christian bible is largely based on the jewish Torah, im willing to claim im mostly right.
Well yeah, most of the Bible is Jewish, only the Jesus part at the end is Christian. The Jewish myth of Lilith was developed to “fix” Genesis, because when it compiled 2 creation myths, it had 2 versions of the creation of the woman. People didn’t understand, and came up with the Lilith explanation as head-on headcanon (autocorrect) that became its own myth. Including the "not subservient " part.
Long story short: she’s barely mentioned in the christian bible or Jewish torah, at all. There are other supporting works, some going back to Sumerian and Babylonian times, that give this character/concept more depth.

You absolute legend, thanks for these sources, i have some learning to do
If you read the Old Testament there are two stories in Genesis; one where God makes the first two at the same time and one where he takes Adam’s rib.
