Exegesis
A second parallel chain depicts Merab (Michal), and ’asher yaldah le-’Adriel {אֲשֶׁר יָלְדָה לְעַדְרִיאֵל} introduces her offspring with Adriel. In English these chains become appositive phrases and possessive forms to preserve the structured listing of names and relationships.
In context — 2 Samuel 21:8
And the king took the two sons of Rizpah , daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul—Armoni and Mephibosheth—and the five sons of Merab (called Michal in this verse’s Hebrew tradition), daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel, son of Barzillai the Meholathite .
