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 — king — and what happens in the verse to messengers, 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. וַיִּשְׁמַ֗ע אֶל־תִּרְהָ֤קָה מֶֽלֶך־כּוּשׁ֙לֵאמֹ֔ר הִנֵּ֥ה יָצָ֖א לְהִלָּחֵ֣ם אִתָּ֑ךְ וַיָּ֙שָׁב֙ וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח מַלְאָכִ֔ים אֶל־חִזְקִיָּ֖הוּ לֵאמֹֽר׃ [And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia: 'Behold, he is come out to fight against thee'; he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.599/) ## 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:536 # text = וַיִּשְׁמַ֗ע אֶל־תִּרְהָ֤קָה מֶֽלֶך־כּוּשׁ֙לֵאמֹ֔ר הִנֵּ֥ה יָצָ֖א לְהִלָּחֵ֣ם אִתָּ֑ךְ וַיָּ֙שָׁב֙ וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח מַלְאָכִ֔ים אֶל־חִזְקִיָּ֖הוּ לֵאמֹֽר׃ # verse = 2KI.19.9 1-2 וַיִּשְׁמַ֗ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_19:9!1|MId=o120190090011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׁמַ֗ע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.heard|Ref=2KI_19:9!1|MId=o120190090012|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:120190080061;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=concerning|Ref=2KI_19:9!2|MId=o120190090021|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 4 תִּרְהָ֤קָה תִּרְהָקָה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Tirhakah|Ref=2KI_19:9!3|MId=o120190090031|Strong=8640 5 מֶֽלֶך־ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2KI_19:9!4|MId=o120190090041|Strong=4428|SpaceAfter=No 6-8 כּוּשׁ֙לֵאמֹ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 כּוּשׁ֙ כּוּשׁ PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Cush|Ref=2KI_19:9!5|MId=o120190090051|Strong=3568a 7 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 10 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=2KI_19:9!6|MId=o120190090061|Strong=3807a 8 אמֹ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 7 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=2KI_19:9!6|MId=o120190090062|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:;|Type=infinitive_construct 9 הִנֵּ֥ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 10 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=2KI_19:9!7|MId=o120190090071|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 10 יָצָ֖א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=he.has.come.out|Ref=2KI_19:9!8|MId=o120190090081|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:120190090031;|Type=qatal 11-12 לְהִלָּחֵ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_19:9!9|MId=o120190090091|Strong=3807a 12 הִלָּחֵ֣ם לָחַם VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 10 advcl _ Gloss=do.battle|Ref=2KI_19:9!9|MId=o120190090092|Strong=3898|Frame=A0:120190090031;|Type=infinitive_construct 13-14 אִתָּ֑ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=2KI_19:9!10|MId=o120190090101|Strong=0854 14 ָ֑ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=2KI_19:9!10|MId=o120190090102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 15-16 וַיָּ֙שָׁב֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_19:9!11|MId=o120190090111|Strong=2050b 16 יָּ֙שָׁב֙ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.returned|Ref=2KI_19:9!11|MId=o120190090112|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:120190080061;|Type=wayyiqtol 17-18 וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_19:9!12|MId=o120190090121|Strong=2050b 18 יִּשְׁלַ֣ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 16 conj _ Gloss=he.sent|Ref=2KI_19:9!12|MId=o120190090122|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:120190080061;A1:120190090131;|Type=wayyiqtol 19 מַלְאָכִ֔ים מַלְאָךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 obj _ Gloss=messengers|Ref=2KI_19:9!13|MId=o120190090131|Strong=4397 20 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_19:9!14|MId=o120190090141|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 21 חִזְקִיָּ֖הוּ חִזְקִיָּהוּ PROPN _ _ 18 obl _ Gloss=Hezekiah|Ref=2KI_19:9!15|MId=o120190090151|Strong=2396a 22-23 לֵאמֹֽר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 18 ccomp _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=2KI_19:9!16|MId=o120190090161|Strong=3807a 23 אמֹֽר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 22 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=2KI_19:9!16|MId=o120190090162|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:120190080061;|Type=infinitive_construct 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=2KI_19:9!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּשְׁמַע *he heard* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | יָצָא *he has come out* | qatal · qal | תִּרְהָקָה *Tirhakah* | | | | | הִלָּחֵם *do battle* | infinitive construct · niphal | תִּרְהָקָה *Tirhakah* | | | | | יָּשָׁב *he returned* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יִּשְׁלַח *he sent* | wayyiqtol · qal | | מַלְאָכִים *messengers* | | | | אמֹֽר | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
