Subjects in this Topic:
MERAB.—The elder daughter of Saul, promised to the slayer of Goliath (1Sa_17:25), and then to David personally as a reward for prowess against the Philistines (1Sa_18:17), but given as wife to Adriel the Meholathite. In 2Sa_21:8 Michal, whose sons are said to have been given over to satisfy the Gibeonites, is probably a scribal error for Merab.
