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 25 chapters of 2 Kings on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיְחַ֥ל יְהוֹאָחָ֖ז אֶת־פְּנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּשְׁמַ֤ע אֵלָיו֙ יְהוָ֔ה כִּ֤י רָאָה֙ אֶת־לַ֣חַץ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כִּֽי־לָחַ֥ץ אֹתָ֖ם מֶ֥לֶךְ אֲרָֽם׃ [And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him; for He saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Aram oppressed them. —](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.389/) ## 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:2KI:341 # text = וַיְחַ֥ל יְהוֹאָחָ֖ז אֶת־פְּנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּשְׁמַ֤ע אֵלָיו֙ יְהוָ֔ה כִּ֤י רָאָה֙ אֶת־לַ֣חַץ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כִּֽי־לָחַ֥ץ אֹתָ֖ם מֶ֥לֶךְ אֲרָֽם׃ # verse = 2KI.13.4 1-2 וַיְחַ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_13:4!1|MId=o120130040011|Strong=2050b 2 יְחַ֥ל חָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.entreated|Ref=2KI_13:4!1|MId=o120130040012|Strong=2470a|Frame=A0:120130040021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוֹאָחָ֖ז יְהוֹאָחָז PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Jehoahaz|Ref=2KI_13:4!2|MId=o120130040021|Strong=3059 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_13:4!3|MId=o120130040031|Strong=0854|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5 פְּנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.face|Ref=2KI_13:4!4|MId=o120130040041|Strong=6440 6 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=2KI_13:4!5|MId=o120130040051|Strong=3068 7-8 וַיִּשְׁמַ֤ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_13:4!6|MId=o120130040061|Strong=2050b 8 יִּשְׁמַ֤ע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.listened|Ref=2KI_13:4!6|MId=o120130040062|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:120130040081;|Type=wayyiqtol 9-10 אֵלָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֵלָי אֶל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_13:4!7|MId=o120130040071|Strong=0413 10 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2KI_13:4!7|MId=o120130040072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2KI_13:4!8|MId=o120130040081|Strong=3068 12 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=2KI_13:4!9|MId=o120130040091|Strong=3588 13 רָאָה֙ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=he.saw|Ref=2KI_13:4!10|MId=o120130040101|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:120130040081;A1:120130040121;|Type=qatal 14 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_13:4!11|MId=o120130040111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 15 לַ֣חַץ לַחַץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=the.oppression|Ref=2KI_13:4!12|MId=o120130040121|Strong=3906 16 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=2KI_13:4!13|MId=o120130040131|Strong=3478 17 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=2KI_13:4!14|MId=o120130040141|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 18 לָחַ֥ץ לָחַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 13 parataxis _ Gloss=he.oppressed|Ref=2KI_13:4!15|MId=o120130040151|Strong=3905|Frame=A1:120130040162;A0:120130040171;|Type=qatal 19-20 אֹתָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=|Ref=2KI_13:4!16|MId=o120130040161|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 20 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=2KI_13:4!16|MId=o120130040162|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 21 מֶ֥לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 nsubj _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2KI_13:4!17|MId=o120130040171|Strong=4428 22 אֲרָֽם אֲרָם PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Aram|Ref=2KI_13:4!18|MId=o120130040181|Strong=0758|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=2KI_13:4!18 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְחַל *he entreated* | wayyiqtol · piel | יְהוֹאָחָז *Jehoahaz* | | | | | יִּשְׁמַע *he listened* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | רָאָה *he saw* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | לַחַץ *the oppression* | | | | לָחַץ *he oppressed* | qatal · qal | מֶלֶךְ *the king* | ָם *them* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
