Commentary for I Samuel 18:19
וַיְהִ֗י בְּעֵ֥ת תֵּ֛ת אֶת־מֵרַ֥ב בַּת־שָׁא֖וּל לְדָוִ֑ד וְהִ֧יא נִתְּנָ֛ה לְעַדְרִיאֵ֥ל הַמְּחֹלָתִ֖י לְאִשָּֽׁה׃
But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
Rashi on I Samuel
When the time came to give. When the time arrived which they had set to give her to him, and while they were involved with giving her to him, it turned out that she was given to Adrieil.4Son of Barzili. See II Shmuel 21:8. She married Adrieil without Shaul’s knowledge—Metzudas Dovid.
