**Who acts:** Ahab king, thou, king, I, we · **What happens:** say, go, answer, be · **To what, where:** Ramoth gilead, gilead, I, war · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 2 Chronicles 18:3 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — Ahab king, thou, king, I, we — and what happens in the verse to Ramoth gilead, gilead, I, war, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand  the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 36 chapters of 2 Chronicles on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

[And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah: 'Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-gilead?' And he answered him: 'I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.371/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss.
