The context of Adiel's mention is the organization of David's kingdom, which included the appointment of officials to oversee various aspects of the royal administration. The treasuries under Adiel's supervision likely included the wealth, precious metals, and other valuable items belonging to the king and the kingdom.

His mention in the list of David's officials serves to highlight the structure and organization of the kingdom during David's reign and the importance of capable administrators in managing the kingdom's resources.
