The Meholathite to whom Merab (Saul's daughter) was given in marriage instead of to David (1 Samuel 18:19); son of Barzillai (2 Samuel 21:8). As to the meaning of the name, Adriel appears to be an Aramaized form of Azriel ("God is my Help"; 1 Chronicles 5:24, 27:19; Jeremiah 36:26), with which it is actually identified by the Syriac version, not only in the passage 1 Samuel 18:19, where Aramaisms might be expected, but also in 2 Samuel 21:8.
