Instead, his nephew Pharazôn usurped the throne, and forced Míriel to become his Queen, giving her the royal name of Ar-Zimraphel. Years later, King Ar-Pharazôn left Ar-Zimraphel in Númenor when he sailed on the Blessed Realm with an invading army.

Notes 1 The Adûnaic names used by the later royalty of Númenor commonly had the same meaning as their Elvish equivalents, and so Zimraphel probably carries the same meaning as Míriel, 'jewel-daughter'. Lacking an explicit translation, however, it is impossible to be absolutely confident of this interpretation, especially as the name is sometimes given in unpublished notes as Zimrahil rather than Zimraphel.
