From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Adriel
     flock of God, the son of Barzillai, the Meholathite, to whom
     Saul gave in marriage his daughter Merab (1 Sam. 18:19). The
     five sons that sprang from this union were put to death by the
     Gibeonites (2 Sam. 21:8, 9. Here it is said that Michal "brought
     up" [R.V., "bare"] these five sons, either that she treated them


     as if she had been their own mother, or that for "Michal" we
     should read "Merab," as in 1 Sam. 18:19).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:

  Adriel, the flock of God
