# 2 Chronicles 9:3 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** queen, Solomon · **What happens:** see, build · **To what, where:** wisdom, house

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 2 Chronicles 9:3 · JPS 1917 in the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, from Mova's open Bible corpus. The page gives the sentence's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, parsed by Mova and checked by a teacher model — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (queen, Solomon), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it. The original of the verse links back to its own tree and to the Targum.
