Strong's Lexicon Adriel: Adriel Original Word: עַדְרִיאֵל Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: `Adriy'el Pronunciation: ad-ree-EL Phonetic Spelling: (ad-ree-ale') Definition: Adriel Meaning: "My help is God" or "Flock of God." Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עֵדֶר (eder, meaning "flock") and אֵל (el, meaning "God"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Adriel, as it is a Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: Adriel is used as a proper noun, specifically a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Adriel is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament. He is identified as the son of Barzillai the Meholathite. Adriel is most notably recognized for his marriage to Merab, the daughter of King Saul. This union is significant as it was initially intended for David, but Saul gave Merab to Adriel instead. The marriage between Adriel and Merab produced five sons. These sons later faced a tragic fate when they were handed over to the Gibeonites by King David to atone for Saul's breach of an oath, resulting in their execution. This event is recorded in 2 Samuel 21:8-9, which states: "But the king took the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul—Armoni and Mephibosheth—and the five sons of Merab daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite. And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, who killed them and exposed their bodies on the hill before the LORD. So all seven of them fell together; they were put to death during the first days of the harvest, at the beginning of the barley harvest."
