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 — Eliakim, son, clothes — and what happens in the verse to Hezekiah, household, words, Rab shakeh, 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. וַיָּבֹ֣א אֶלְיָקִ֣ים בֶּן־חִלְקִיָּ֣ה אֲשֶׁר־עַל־הַ֠בַּיִת וְשֶׁבְנָ֨א הַסֹּפֵ֜ר וְיוֹאָ֨ח בֶּן־אָסָ֧ף הַמַּזְכִּ֛יר אֶל־חִזְקִיָּ֖הוּ קְרוּעֵ֣י בְגָדִ֑ים וַיַּגִּ֣דוּ ל֔וֹ דִּבְרֵ֖י רַב־שָׁקֵֽה׃ [Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.590/) ## 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:527 # text = וַיָּבֹ֣א אֶלְיָקִ֣ים בֶּן־חִלְקִיָּ֣ה אֲשֶׁר־עַל־הַ֠בַּיִת וְשֶׁבְנָ֨א הַסֹּפֵ֜ר וְיוֹאָ֨ח בֶּן־אָסָ֧ף הַמַּזְכִּ֛יר אֶל־חִזְקִיָּ֖הוּ קְרוּעֵ֣י בְגָדִ֑ים וַיַּגִּ֣דוּ ל֔וֹ דִּבְרֵ֖י רַב־שָׁקֵֽה׃ # verse = 2KI.18.37 1-2 וַיָּבֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_18:37!1|MId=o120180370011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֹ֣א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.went|Ref=2KI_18:37!1|MId=o120180370012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:120180370021;120180370082;120180370102;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶלְיָקִ֣ים אֶלְיָקִים PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Eliakim|Ref=2KI_18:37!2|MId=o120180370021|Strong=0471 4 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=2KI_18:37!3|MId=o120180370031|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 5 חִלְקִיָּ֣ה חִלְקִיָּה PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Hilkiah|Ref=2KI_18:37!4|MId=o120180370041|Strong=2518 6 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=2KI_18:37!5|MId=o120180370051|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 7 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=[was].over|Ref=2KI_18:37!6|MId=o120180370061|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 הַ֠בַּיִת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ֠ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_18:37!7|MId=o120180370071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 בַּיִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=house|Ref=2KI_18:37!7|MId=o120180370072|Strong=1004 10-11 וְשֶׁבְנָ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_18:37!8|MId=o120180370081|Strong=2050b 11 שֶׁבְנָ֨א שֶׁבְנָא PROPN _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=Shebna|Ref=2KI_18:37!8|MId=o120180370082|Strong=7644 12-13 הַסֹּפֵ֜ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_18:37!9|MId=o120180370091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 סֹּפֵ֜ר סֹפֵר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 appos _ Gloss=secretary|Ref=2KI_18:37!9|MId=o120180370092|Strong=5608a 14-15 וְיוֹאָ֨ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_18:37!10|MId=o120180370101|Strong=2050b 15 יוֹאָ֨ח יוֹאָח PROPN _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=Joah|Ref=2KI_18:37!10|MId=o120180370102|Strong=3098 16 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=2KI_18:37!11|MId=o120180370111|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 17 אָסָ֧ף אָסָף PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Asaph|Ref=2KI_18:37!12|MId=o120180370121|Strong=0623 18-19 הַמַּזְכִּ֛יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_18:37!13|MId=o120180370131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 מַּזְכִּ֛יר זָכַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 15 appos _ Gloss=recorder|Ref=2KI_18:37!13|MId=o120180370132|Strong=2142a|Type=participle_active 20 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_18:37!14|MId=o120180370141|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 21 חִזְקִיָּ֖הוּ חִזְקִיָּהוּ PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Hezekiah|Ref=2KI_18:37!15|MId=o120180370151|Strong=2396a 22 קְרוּעֵ֣י קָרַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=torn|Ref=2KI_18:37!16|MId=o120180370161|Strong=7167|Frame=A1:120180370021;120180370082;120180370102;|Type=participle_passive 23 בְגָדִ֑ים בֶּגֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.clothes|Ref=2KI_18:37!17|MId=o120180370171|Strong=0899 24-25 וַיַּגִּ֣דוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_18:37!18|MId=o120180370181|Strong=2050b 25 יַּגִּ֣דוּ נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.told|Ref=2KI_18:37!18|MId=o120180370182|Strong=5046|Frame=AA:120180370021;120180370082;120180370102;A0:120180370201;|Type=wayyiqtol 26-27 ל֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 ל לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_18:37!19|MId=o120180370191|Strong=3807a 27 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2KI_18:37!19|MId=o120180370192|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 28 דִּבְרֵ֖י דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 obj _ Gloss=the.words|Ref=2KI_18:37!20|MId=o120180370201|Strong=1697 29 רַב־ רַב־שָׁקֵה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].Rab-|Ref=2KI_18:37!21|MId=o120180370211|Strong=7262|SpaceAfter=No 30 שָׁקֵֽה רַבְשָׁקֵה PROPN _ _ 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=shaqeh|Ref=2KI_18:37!22|MId=o120180370221|Strong=7262|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=2KI_18:37!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
