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 — Saul, saying, women, all — and what happens in the verse to Saul, ten thousands, me, kingdom, 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 31 chapters of 1 Samuel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיִּ֨חַר לְשָׁא֜וּל מְאֹ֗ד וַיֵּ֤רַע בְּעֵינָיו֙ הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֔ה וַיֹּ֗אמֶר נָתְנ֤וּ לְדָוִד֙ רְבָב֔וֹת וְלִ֥י נָתְנ֖וּ הָאֲלָפִ֑ים וְע֥וֹד ל֖וֹ אַ֥ךְ הַמְּלוּכָֽה׃ [And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said: 'They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands; and all he lacketh is the kingdom!'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.522/) ## 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:1SA:471 # text = וַיִּ֨חַר לְשָׁא֜וּל מְאֹ֗ד וַיֵּ֤רַע בְּעֵינָיו֙ הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֔ה וַיֹּ֗אמֶר נָתְנ֤וּ לְדָוִד֙ רְבָב֔וֹת וְלִ֥י נָתְנ֖וּ הָאֲלָפִ֑ים וְע֥וֹד ל֖וֹ אַ֥ךְ הַמְּלוּכָֽה׃ # verse = 1SA.18.8 1-2 וַיִּ֨חַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:8!1|MId=o090180080011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּ֨חַר חָרָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.burned|Ref=1SA_18:8!1|MId=o090180080012|Strong=2734|Frame=A0:;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לְשָׁא֜וּל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_18:8!2|MId=o090180080021|Strong=3807a 4 שָׁא֜וּל שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Saul|Ref=1SA_18:8!2|MId=o090180080022|Strong=7586 5 מְאֹ֗ד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=exceedingly|Ref=1SA_18:8!3|MId=o090180080031|Strong=3966 6-7 וַיֵּ֤רַע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:8!4|MId=o090180080041|Strong=2050b 7 יֵּ֤רַע רָעַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.was.displeasing|Ref=1SA_18:8!4|MId=o090180080042|Strong=7489|Frame=A0:090180080062;|Type=wayyiqtol 8-10 בְּעֵינָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=1SA_18:8!5|MId=o090180080051|Strong=0871a 9 עֵינָי עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 7 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=1SA_18:8!5|MId=o090180080052|Strong=5869 10 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1SA_18:8!5|MId=o090180080053|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11-12 הַדָּבָ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_18:8!6|MId=o090180080061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 דָּבָ֣ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=matter|Ref=1SA_18:8!6|MId=o090180080062|Strong=1697 13-14 הַזֶּ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1SA_18:8!7|MId=o090180080071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 זֶּ֔ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 12 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=1SA_18:8!7|MId=o090180080072|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 15-16 וַיֹּ֗אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:8!8|MId=o090180080081|Strong=2050b 16 יֹּ֗אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1SA_18:8!8|MId=o090180080082|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090180080022;|Type=wayyiqtol 17 נָתְנ֤וּ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 16 ccomp _ Gloss=they.have.ascribed|Ref=1SA_18:8!9|MId=o090180080091|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:;A1:090180080111;|Type=qatal 18-19 לְדָוִד֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_18:8!10|MId=o090180080101|Strong=3807a 19 דָוִד֙ דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 17 obl _ Gloss=David|Ref=1SA_18:8!10|MId=o090180080102|Strong=1732 20 רְבָב֔וֹת רְבָבָה NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 17 obj _ Gloss=ten.thousands|Ref=1SA_18:8!11|MId=o090180080111|Strong=7233 21-23 וְלִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:8!12|MId=o090180080121|Strong=2050b 22 ל לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_18:8!12|MId=o090180080122|Strong=3807a 23 ִ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 24 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=1SA_18:8!12|MId=o090180080123|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 24 נָתְנ֖וּ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 17 conj _ Gloss=they.have.ascribed|Ref=1SA_18:8!13|MId=o090180080131|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:;A1:090180080142;|Type=qatal 25-26 הָאֲלָפִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_18:8!14|MId=o090180080141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 אֲלָפִ֑ים אֶלֶף NUM _ Number=Plur 24 obj _ Gloss=thousands|Ref=1SA_18:8!14|MId=o090180080142|Strong=0505|Type=cardinal_number 27-28 וְע֥וֹד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:8!15|MId=o090180080151|Strong=2050b 28 ע֥וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 30 advmod _ Gloss=yet|Ref=1SA_18:8!15|MId=o090180080152|Strong=5750 29-30 ל֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 ל לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=1SA_18:8!16|MId=o090180080161|Strong=3807a 30 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 conj _ Gloss=him|Ref=1SA_18:8!16|MId=o090180080162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 31 אַ֥ךְ אַךְ ADV _ _ 33 advmod _ Gloss=only|Ref=1SA_18:8!17|MId=o090180080171|Strong=0389|Type=affirmation 32-33 הַמְּלוּכָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 33 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_18:8!18|MId=o090180080181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 33 מְּלוּכָֽה מְלוּכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 30 nsubj _ Gloss=kingship|Ref=1SA_18:8!18|MId=o090180080182|Strong=4410 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=1SA_18:8!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
