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 — Bath sheba, king, Abishag — and what happens in the verse to chamber, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 22 chapters of 1 Kings on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַתָּבֹ֨א בַת־שֶׁ֤בֶעבַת־שֶׁ֤בֶע אֶל־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ הַחַ֔דְרָה וְהַמֶּ֖לֶךְ זָקֵ֣ן מְאֹ֑ד וַֽאֲבִישַׁג֙ הַשּׁ֣וּנַמִּ֔ית מְשָׁרַ֖ת אֶת־הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ [And Bath-sheba went in unto the king into the chamber. — Now the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king. —](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1KI.14/) ## The tree {#tree} 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. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:1KI:14 # text = וַתָּבֹ֨א בַת־שֶׁ֤בֶעבַת־שֶׁ֤בֶע אֶל־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ הַחַ֔דְרָה וְהַמֶּ֖לֶךְ זָקֵ֣ן מְאֹ֑ד וַֽאֲבִישַׁג֙ הַשּׁ֣וּנַמִּ֔ית מְשָׁרַ֖ת אֶת־הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ # verse = 1KI.1.15 1-2 וַתָּבֹ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_1:15!1|MId=o110010150011|Strong=2050b 2 תָּבֹ֨א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.went|Ref=1KI_1:15!1|MId=o110010150012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:110010150021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 בַת־שֶׁ֤בֶעבַת־שֶׁ֤בֶע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בַת־שֶׁ֤בֶע בַּת־שֶׁבַע PROPN _ _ 2 dep _ Gloss=Bathsheba|Ref=1KI_1:15!2|MId=o110010150021 4 בַת־שֶׁ֤בֶע בַּתשֶׁבַע PROPN _ _ 2 dep _ Gloss=Bathsheba|Ref=1KI_1:15!3|MId=o110010150031 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_1:15!4|MId=o110010150041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_1:15!5|MId=o110010150051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=king|Ref=1KI_1:15!5|MId=o110010150052|Strong=4428 8-10 הַחַ֔דְרָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_1:15!6|MId=o110010150061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 חַ֔דְר חֶדֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_1:15!6|MId=o110010150062|Strong=2315 10 ָה ה X _ _ 9 nmod _ Gloss=room|Ref=1KI_1:15!6|MId=o110010150063|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 11-13 וְהַמֶּ֖לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_1:15!7|MId=o110010150071|Strong=2050b 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_1:15!7|MId=o110010150072|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 מֶּ֖לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=1KI_1:15!7|MId=o110010150073|Strong=4428 14 זָקֵ֣ן זָקֵן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.was.old|Ref=1KI_1:15!8|MId=o110010150081|Strong=2204|Frame=A0:110010150063;|Type=qatal 15 מְאֹ֑ד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=very|Ref=1KI_1:15!9|MId=o110010150091|Strong=3966 16-17 וַֽאֲבִישַׁג֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_1:15!10|MId=o110010150101|Strong=2050b 17 אֲבִישַׁג֙ אֲבִישַׁג PROPN _ _ 20 nsubj _ Gloss=Abishag|Ref=1KI_1:15!10|MId=o110010150102|Strong=0049 18-19 הַשּׁ֣וּנַמִּ֔ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_1:15!11|MId=o110010150111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 שּׁ֣וּנַמִּ֔ית שׁוּנַמִּי NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 appos _ Gloss=Shunammite|Ref=1KI_1:15!11|MId=o110010150112|Strong=7767|Type=gentilic 20 מְשָׁרַ֖ת שָׁרַת VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].serving|Ref=1KI_1:15!12|MId=o110010150121|Strong=8334|Frame=A0:110010150092;A1:110010150132;|Type=participle_active 21 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1KI_1:15!13|MId=o110010150131|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 הַמֶּֽלֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_1:15!14|MId=o110010150141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 מֶּֽלֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=king|Ref=1KI_1:15!14|MId=o110010150142|Strong=4428 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=1KI_1:15!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תָּבֹא *she went* | wayyiqtol · qal | בַת־שֶׁבֶע *Bathsheba* | | | | | זָקֵן *he was old* | qatal · qal | ָה *room* | | | | | מְשָׁרַת *\[was\] serving* | participle active · piel | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
