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 — Jehoiachin, name, mother — and what happens in the verse to Jerusalem, Nehushta, 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. בֶּן־שְׁמֹנֶ֨ה עֶשְׂרֵ֤ה שָׁנָה֙ יְהוֹיָכִ֣ין בְּמָלְכ֔וֹ וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה חֳדָשִׁ֔ים מָלַ֖ךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְשֵׁ֣ם אִמּ֔וֹ נְחֻשְׁתָּ֥א בַת־אֶלְנָתָ֖ן מִירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ [Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned in Jerusalem three months; and his mother's name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.743/) ## 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:676 # text = בֶּן־שְׁמֹנֶ֨ה עֶשְׂרֵ֤ה שָׁנָה֙ יְהוֹיָכִ֣ין בְּמָלְכ֔וֹ וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה חֳדָשִׁ֔ים מָלַ֖ךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְשֵׁ֣ם אִמּ֔וֹ נְחֻשְׁתָּ֥א בַת־אֶלְנָתָ֖ן מִירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ # verse = 2KI.24.8 1 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[was].a.son|Ref=2KI_24:8!1|MId=o120240080011|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 2 שְׁמֹנֶ֨ה שְׁמֹנֶה NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 nummod _ Gloss=of.eight-|Ref=2KI_24:8!2|MId=o120240080021|Strong=8083|Type=cardinal_number 3 עֶשְׂרֵ֤ה עֶשְׂרֵה NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 flat _ Gloss=teen|Ref=2KI_24:8!3|MId=o120240080031|Strong=6240|Type=cardinal_number 4 שָׁנָה֙ שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=year[s]|Ref=2KI_24:8!4|MId=o120240080041|Strong=8141 5 יְהוֹיָכִ֣ין יְהוֹיָכִין PROPN _ _ 1 nsubj _ Gloss=Jehoiachin|Ref=2KI_24:8!5|MId=o120240080051|Strong=3078 6-8 בְּמָלְכ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=2KI_24:8!6|MId=o120240080061|Strong=0871a 7 מָלְכ מָלַךְ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 1 advcl _ Gloss=he|Ref=2KI_24:8!6|MId=o120240080062|Strong=4427|Frame=A0:120240080063;|Type=infinitive_construct 8 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nsubj _ Gloss=became.king|Ref=2KI_24:8!6|MId=o120240080063|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 9-10 וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_24:8!7|MId=o120240080071|Strong=2050b 10 שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=2KI_24:8!7|MId=o120240080072|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 11 חֳדָשִׁ֔ים חֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 obl _ Gloss=months|Ref=2KI_24:8!8|MId=o120240080081|Strong=2320 12 מָלַ֖ךְ מָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=he.reigned|Ref=2KI_24:8!9|MId=o120240080091|Strong=4427|Frame=A0:120240080051;|Type=qatal 13-14 בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2KI_24:8!10|MId=o120240080101|Strong=0871a 14 ירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 12 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=2KI_24:8!10|MId=o120240080102|Strong=3389 15-16 וְשֵׁ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_24:8!11|MId=o120240080111|Strong=2050b 16 שֵׁ֣ם שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=the.name|Ref=2KI_24:8!11|MId=o120240080112|Strong=8034 17-18 אִמּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אִמּ אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.mother|Ref=2KI_24:8!12|MId=o120240080121|Strong=0517 18 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2KI_24:8!12|MId=o120240080122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19 נְחֻשְׁתָּ֥א נְחֻשְׁתָּא PROPN _ _ 1 conj _ Gloss=[was].Nehushta|Ref=2KI_24:8!13|MId=o120240080131|Strong=5179 20 בַת־ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 appos _ Gloss=the.daughter|Ref=2KI_24:8!14|MId=o120240080141|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 21 אֶלְנָתָ֖ן אֶלְנָתָן PROPN _ _ 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Elnathan|Ref=2KI_24:8!15|MId=o120240080151|Strong=0494 22-23 מִירוּשָׁלִָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2KI_24:8!16|MId=o120240080161|Strong=4480 23 ירוּשָׁלִָֽם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 19 nmod _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=2KI_24:8!16|MId=o120240080162|Strong=3389 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=2KI_24:8!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מָלְכ *he* | infinitive construct · qal | וֹ *became king* | | | | | מָלַךְ *he reigned* | qatal · qal | יְהוֹיָכִין *Jehoiachin* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
