Adriel

Adriel was a biblical figure mentioned in the Book of Samuel. He was the son of Barzillai the Meholathite, a Gileadite from Rogelim. Adriel was the husband of Michal, the daughter of King Saul. He was also the father of Merab and Michal's five sons. Adriel is best known for his role in the story of David and Michal. After Saul's death, David asked for Michal's hand in marriage. Saul's son, Ish-Bosheth, refused to give her to him, so Adriel took her as his wife instead. This angered David, who then took Adriel's daughter, Merab, as his own wife. Adriel is also known for his role in the story of the Gibeonites. After Saul broke a covenant with the Gibeonites, they demanded that seven of Saul's sons be given to them as a punishment. Adriel was one of the seven sons chosen, and he was given to the Gibeonites to be killed. Adriel is remembered as a faithful servant of God and a loyal husband and father.
