and the five sons This Adriel did not marry Michal, Saul's younger daughter, but Merab, 1Sam 18:19; Michael being married to David, and afterwards to Phaltiel; though it is here said she bore (yaledah), not brought up, as falsely rendered, five sons to Adriel. Two of Dr. Kennicott's manuscripts, however, have Merab, instead of Michal; the Syriac and Arabic have Nadab; and the Chaldee renders the passage thus: "And the five sons of Merab which Michal the daughter of Saul brought up, which she brought forth to Adriel the son of Barzillai."
