Verse 8. Of Michol. They were the sons of Merob, who was married to Hadriel; but they are here called the sons of Michol, because she adopted them, and brought them up as her own: ( Challoner. Chal. Saint Jerome Trad.) or Merob ws called Michol; (Sa.) or, what seems most probable, from the word she bore being used, (Cajet.) and as two sisters would hardly have the same name, ( Bible.) Micholhas crept into the text instead of Merob. Capel. Salien. Calmet. 1 Kennicott. 25:44.
