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 — Rezin king, places — and what happens in the verse to Jerusalem, Ahaz, 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. אָ֣ז יַעֲלֶ֣ה רְצִ֣ין מֶֽלֶךְ־אֲ֠רָם וּפֶ֨קַח בֶּן־רְמַלְיָ֧הוּ מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם לַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה וַיָּצֻ֙רוּ֙ עַל־אָחָ֔ז וְלֹ֥א יָכְל֖וּ לְהִלָּחֵֽם׃ [Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war; and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.492/) ## 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:434 # text = אָ֣ז יַעֲלֶ֣ה רְצִ֣ין מֶֽלֶךְ־אֲ֠רָם וּפֶ֨קַח בֶּן־רְמַלְיָ֧הוּ מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם לַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה וַיָּצֻ֙רוּ֙ עַל־אָחָ֔ז וְלֹ֥א יָכְל֖וּ לְהִלָּחֵֽם׃ # verse = 2KI.16.5 1 אָ֣ז אָז ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=then|Ref=2KI_16:5!1|MId=o120160050011|Strong=0227 2 יַעֲלֶ֣ה עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.came.up|Ref=2KI_16:5!2|MId=o120160050021|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:120160050031;120160050062;|Type=yiqtol 3 רְצִ֣ין רְצִין PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Rezin|Ref=2KI_16:5!3|MId=o120160050031|Strong=7526 4 מֶֽלֶךְ־ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2KI_16:5!4|MId=o120160050041|Strong=4428|SpaceAfter=No 5 אֲ֠רָם אֲרָם PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Aram|Ref=2KI_16:5!5|MId=o120160050051|Strong=0758 6-7 וּפֶ֨קַח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_16:5!6|MId=o120160050061|Strong=2050b 7 פֶ֨קַח פֶּקַח PROPN _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=Pekah|Ref=2KI_16:5!6|MId=o120160050062|Strong=6492 8 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=2KI_16:5!7|MId=o120160050071|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 9 רְמַלְיָ֧הוּ רְמַלְיָהוּ PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Remaliah|Ref=2KI_16:5!8|MId=o120160050081|Strong=7425 10 מֶֽלֶךְ־ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2KI_16:5!9|MId=o120160050091|Strong=4428|SpaceAfter=No 11 יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=2KI_16:5!10|MId=o120160050101|Strong=3478 12 יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=2KI_16:5!11|MId=o120160050111|Strong=3389 13-15 לַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=2KI_16:5!12|MId=o120160050121|Strong=3807a 14 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2KI_16:5!12|MId=o120160050121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 מִּלְחָמָ֑ה מִלְחָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=battle|Ref=2KI_16:5!12|MId=o120160050122|Strong=4421 16-17 וַיָּצֻ֙רוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_16:5!13|MId=o120160050131|Strong=2050b 17 יָּצֻ֙רוּ֙ צוּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.laid.siege|Ref=2KI_16:5!13|MId=o120160050132|Strong=6696|Frame=A0:120160050031;120160050062;|Type=wayyiqtol 18 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2KI_16:5!14|MId=o120160050141|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 19 אָחָ֔ז אָחָז PROPN _ _ 17 obl _ Gloss=Ahaz|Ref=2KI_16:5!15|MId=o120160050151|Strong=0271 20-21 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_16:5!16|MId=o120160050161|Strong=2050b 21 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2KI_16:5!16|MId=o120160050162|Strong=3808|Type=negative 22 יָכְל֖וּ יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.were.able|Ref=2KI_16:5!17|MId=o120160050171|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:120160050031;120160050062;|Type=qatal 23-24 לְהִלָּחֵֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_16:5!18|MId=o120160050181|Strong=3807a 24 הִלָּחֵֽם לָחַם VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 22 xcomp _ Gloss=do.battle|Ref=2KI_16:5!18|MId=o120160050182|Strong=3898|Frame=A0:120160050031;120160050062;|Type=infinitive_construct 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=2KI_16:5!18 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַעֲלֶה *he came up* | yiqtol · qal | רְצִין *Rezin* + פֶקַח *Pekah* | | | | | יָּצֻרוּ *they laid siege* | wayyiqtol · qal | רְצִין *Rezin* + פֶקַח *Pekah* | | | | | **not** יָכְלוּ *they were able* | qatal · qal | רְצִין *Rezin* + פֶקַח *Pekah* | | | | | הִלָּחֵֽם *do battle* | infinitive construct · niphal | רְצִין *Rezin* + פֶקַח *Pekah* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
