  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Merab 
  increase,  the  eldest  of  Saul's  two  daughters  (1  Sam.  14:49).  She 
  was  betrothed  to  David  after  his  victory  over  Goliath,  but  does 
  not  seem  to  have  entered  heartily  into  this  arrangement  (18:2, 
  17,  19).  She  was  at  length,  however,  married  to  Adriel  of 
  Abel-Meholah,  a  town  in  the  Jordan  valley,  about  10  miles  south 
  of  Bethshean,  with  whom  the  house  of  Saul  maintained  alliance. 
  She  had  five  sons,  who  were  all  put  to  death  by  the  Gibeonites 
  on  the  hill  of  Gibeah  (2  Sam.  21:8).
