Adriel: Flock of God, the son of Barzillai, the Meholathite, to whom Saul gave
in marriage his daughter Merab
(1 Samuel 18:19) The five sons that sprang
from this union were put to death by the Gibeonites
(2 Samuel 21:8,9) Here
it is said that Michal "brought up" [R.V., "bare"] these five sons,
either that she treated them as if she had been their own mother, or
that for "Michal" we should read "Merab," as in
(1 Samuel 18:19)
