# 1 Kings 19:14 מְלָכִים א

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** voice, I, children, Thy · **What happens:** say, be, forsake, throw down, slain, leave · **To what, where:** covenant, altars, prophets, I, life · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 1 Kings 19:14 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — voice, I, children, Thy — and what happens in the verse to covenant, altars, prophets, I, life, 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.

[And he said: 'I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant, thrown down Thine altars, and slain Thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1KI.717/)

## 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.
