Contextual Overview
12 And Saul feared because of David, - for Yahweh was with him, whereas, from Saul, he had departed. 13 So Saul removed him from him, and appointed him to be for him the captain of a thousand, - and he went out and came in before the people. 14 And it came to pass that David, in all his ways, acted prudently, - and, Yahweh, was with him. 15 And, when Saul saw that, he, was acting very prudently, he was afraid of him. 16 But, all Israel and Judah, were in love with David, - for he was going out and coming in before them. 17 So then Saul said unto David - Lo! my elder daughter Merab, her, will I give thee to wife, only, approve thyself unto me as a son of valour and fight the battles of Yahweh. Saul, however, had said to himself - Let not, my own hand, be upon him, but let, the hand of the Philistines, be upon him. 18 And David said unto Saul - Who am, I, or who are my kinsfolk, the family of my father, in Israel, - that I should become son-in-law, to the king? 19 But it came to pass, within the time for giving Merab daughter of Saul to David, that, she, was given to Adriel the Meholathite, to wife. 20 Then did Michal, Saul's daughter, love David, - and it was told Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes. 21 And Saul said to himself - I will give her unto him, that she may prove to him a snare, and that, the hand of the Philistines, may be upon him. So then Saul said unto David, A second time, mayest thou become my son-in-law to-day.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But it came to pass, at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter,
should have been given to David,.... Either when the giving of her to him was talked of, or when the time fixed for her marriage was come:
that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite to wife: Saul either having in reality never designed she should be given to David, only proposed it to please the people, or to affront David, and expose him to shame and confusion by the step he meant to take, or however he soon changed his mind; though Abarbinel's notion is, that the young lady had disposed of herself to this person without her father's knowledge, which seems not likely; the person she was given to was the son of Barzillai the Meholathite, 2 Samuel 21:8; and some have observed, as the curse of God on this match, that all her sons were delivered to the Gibeonites, and hanged up, as related in the same place; for though these sons are said to be brought up by Michal, they were bore by Merab to him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Adriel the Meholathite - The five sons of this marriage perished by the hands of the Gibeonites (marginal reference), where we learn further that the name of Adrielâs father, or ancestor, was Barzillai. His birth-place was Meholah, probably the same as Abel-Meholah. (See 1 Kings 19:16 note).
