Who had ADHD in the Bible?

Individuals in the Bible with ADHD Traits
Recent research by Merzon et al. has indicated that several biblical figures may have exhibited signs of executive dysfunction and potentially ADHD. These individuals include Esau, the firstborn son of Isaac and Rebecca (Genesis 25:36), Samson, one of the Judges of Israel (Judges 13:16), and Saul, the inaugural King of Israel (1 Samuel 9:31). The study drew correlations between their behaviors and these conditions.
