# 2 Kings 6:32 מְלָכִים ב

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Elisha, elders, king, messenger, ye, son · **What happens:** sit, send, come, say, see, take away · **To what, where:** house, man, king, head, door, sound · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 2 Kings 6:32 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 — Elisha, elders, king, messenger, ye, son — and what happens in the verse to house, man, king, head, door, sound, 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 Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him; but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders: 'See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away my head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him; is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.196/)

## 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.

1. [But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him; but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders: 'See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away my head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him; is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.196/)
