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.
Pero cuando llegó el momento de que Merab, la hija de Saúl, fuera dada en matrimonio a David, en su lugar fue entregada como esposa a Adriel de Mehola.
Saúl no cumplió su promesa de dar a su hija Merab en matrimonio a David, sino que la casó con otro hombre.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of 1 Samuel, King Saul had promised his daughter Merab to David as a reward for his bravery and military successes, such as defeating Goliath, to solidify an alliance and honor David's feats. However, Saul's growing jealousy toward David's popularity and favor with the people led him to break this promise and give Merab to another man, Adriel the Meholathite, instead. This event reflects the cultural norms of arranged marriages for political gain in ancient Israel and underscores the personal conflicts that arose from Saul's insecurities.
