Usage: Merab is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Merab is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament. She is the eldest daughter of King Saul, the first king of Israel. Merab was initially promised to David as a wife after his victory over Goliath, as a reward for his bravery and service to Saul. However, she was later given in marriage to Adriel the Meholathite instead. This event is recorded in 1 Samuel 18:17-19: "Then Saul said to David, 'Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you as a wife. Only serve me bravely and fight the battles of the LORD.' But David said to Saul, 'Who am I, and what is my family or my father’s clan in Israel, that I should become the king’s son-in-law?' So when it was time to give Saul’s daughter Merab to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah."
