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 — David, Uriah — and what happens in the verse to matter, eyes, thing, LORD, 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. אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֥ה דָוִ֛ד אֶת־הַיָּשָׁ֖ר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְלֹֽא־סָ֞ר מִכֹּ֣ל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֗הוּ כֹּ֚ל יְמֵ֣י חַיָּ֔יו רַ֕ק בִּדְבַ֖ר אוּרִיָּ֥ה הַחִתִּֽי׃ [because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that He commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1KI.559/) ## 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:536 # text = אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֥ה דָוִ֛ד אֶת־הַיָּשָׁ֖ר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְלֹֽא־סָ֞ר מִכֹּ֣ל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֗הוּ כֹּ֚ל יְמֵ֣י חַיָּ֔יו רַ֕ק בִּדְבַ֖ר אוּרִיָּ֥ה הַחִתִּֽי׃ # verse = 1KI.15.5 1 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=1KI_15:5!1|MId=o110150050011|Strong=0834|Type=relative 2 עָשָׂ֥ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.had.done|Ref=1KI_15:5!2|MId=o110150050021|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:110150050031;A1:110150050052;|Type=qatal 3 דָוִ֛ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=David|Ref=1KI_15:5!3|MId=o110150050031|Strong=1732 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1KI_15:5!4|MId=o110150050041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הַיָּשָׁ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_15:5!5|MId=o110150050051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 יָּשָׁ֖ר יָשָׁר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=right|Ref=1KI_15:5!5|MId=o110150050052|Strong=3477|Type=adjective 7-8 בְּעֵינֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=1KI_15:5!6|MId=o110150050061|Strong=0871a 8 עֵינֵ֣י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 6 nmod _ Gloss=the.eyes|Ref=1KI_15:5!6|MId=o110150050062|Strong=5869 9 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=1KI_15:5!7|MId=o110150050071|Strong=3068 10-11 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_15:5!8|MId=o110150050081|Strong=2050b 11 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1KI_15:5!8|MId=o110150050082|Strong=3808|Type=negative 12 סָ֞ר סוּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.had.turned.aside|Ref=1KI_15:5!9|MId=o110150050091|Strong=5493|Frame=A0:110150050031;|Type=qatal 13-14 מִכֹּ֣ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1KI_15:5!10|MId=o110150050101|Strong=4480 14 כֹּ֣ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=1KI_15:5!10|MId=o110150050102|Strong=3605 15 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=1KI_15:5!11|MId=o110150050111|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 16-17 צִוָּ֗הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 צִוּ צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he|Ref=1KI_15:5!12|MId=o110150050121|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:110150050071;A2:110150050122;A1:110150050102;|Type=qatal 17 ָ֗הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=had.commanded.him|Ref=1KI_15:5!12|MId=o110150050122|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 18 כֹּ֚ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=1KI_15:5!13|MId=o110150050131|Strong=3605 19 יְמֵ֣י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=1KI_15:5!14|MId=o110150050141|Strong=3117 20-21 חַיָּ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 חַיָּ֔י חַיִּים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.life|Ref=1KI_15:5!15|MId=o110150050151|Strong=2416 21 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1KI_15:5!15|MId=o110150050152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22 רַ֕ק רַק ADV _ _ 24 advmod _ Gloss=only|Ref=1KI_15:5!16|MId=o110150050161|Strong=7535|Type=affirmation 23-24 בִּדְבַ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=1KI_15:5!17|MId=o110150050171|Strong=0871a 24 דְבַ֖ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=the.matter|Ref=1KI_15:5!17|MId=o110150050172|Strong=1697 25 אוּרִיָּ֥ה אוּרִיָּה PROPN _ _ 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Uriah|Ref=1KI_15:5!18|MId=o110150050181|Strong=0223 26-27 הַחִתִּֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_15:5!19|MId=o110150050191|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 חִתִּֽי חִתִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 appos _ Gloss=Hittite|Ref=1KI_15:5!19|MId=o110150050192|Strong=2850|Type=gentilic 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=1KI_15:5!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | עָשָׂה *he had done* | qatal · qal | דָוִד *David* | יָּשָׁר *right* | | | | **not** סָר *he had turned aside* | qatal · qal | דָוִד *David* | | | | | צִוּ *he* | qatal · piel | יְהוָה *of Yahweh* | כֹּל *all* | ָהוּ *had commanded him* | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
