1 Sam. xviii. 19. In the Year of the World 2987. before J. C. 1013. before the vulg. Æra 1017.ADRIEL, the Son of Barzillai, married Merab the Daughter of Saul, who at first was promised to David. Adriel had five Sons by her, who were delivered up to the Gibeonites, to be put to death before the Lord, in revenge for the Cruelty which Saul their Grandfather had exercised against the Gibeonites. The Text of the second Book of Samuel imports, that these five were the Sons of Michal and Adriel; but there is all the probability in the world, that the name of Michal is put for that of Merab; or that Michal had adopted the Sons of her Sister Merab.
