Adiel

Adiel (Hebrew: עדיאל‎) is a personal meaning "ornament of God"[1] or possibly "God passes by."[2] It could be used to refer to any of the following:

  1. The father of Azmaveth, who was treasurer under David and Solomon, mentioned only in 1 Chr. 27:25.[2]
  2. A family head of the tribe of Simeon, who participated in driving out the Meunim, mentioned only in 1 Chronicles 4:36.[2]
