1 Chronicles 18:3Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

The term ‘Adraazar’, when rendered in Greek, signifies ‘one who shatters authority’ or ‘one who vanquishes might.’ This refers to the adversary, who, through trickery, severed the spiritual vitality of humanity from the outset by transgressing the divine command, thus binding mankind to the constraints of time and nature. In the absence of this subjugation to time and nature, he is entirely powerless to engage in battle against humanity.
