# 2 Kings 14:6 מְלָכִים ב

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Amaziah, LORD · **What happens:** not put, accord, write, command, say, put · **To what, where:** children, book, fathers, man · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 2 Kings 14:6 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 — Amaziah, LORD — and what happens in the verse to children, book, fathers, man, 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 25 chapters of 2 Kings on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

[but the children of the murderers he put not to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as the LORD commanded saying: 'The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.422/)

## 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.
