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, hadad king, man — and what happens in the verse to Damascus, land, king, 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. וַיָּבֹ֤א אֱלִישָׁע֙ דַּמֶּ֔שֶׂק וּבֶנ־הֲדַ֥דבֶנ־הֲדַ֥ד מֶֽלֶךְ־אֲרָ֖ם חֹלֶ֑ה וַיֻּגַּד־ל֣וֹ לֵאמֹ֔ר בָּ֛א אִ֥ישׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים עַד־הֵֽנָּה׃ [And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of Aram was sick; and it was told him, saying.

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:2KI:200 # text = וַיָּבֹ֤א אֱלִישָׁע֙ דַּמֶּ֔שֶׂק וּבֶנ־הֲדַ֥דבֶנ־הֲדַ֥ד מֶֽלֶךְ־אֲרָ֖ם חֹלֶ֑ה וַיֻּגַּד־ל֣וֹ לֵאמֹ֔ר בָּ֛א אִ֥ישׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים עַד־הֵֽנָּה׃ # verse = 2KI.8.7 1-2 וַיָּבֹ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_8:7!1|MId=o120080070011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֹ֤א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.went|Ref=2KI_8:7!1|MId=o120080070012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:120080070021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֱלִישָׁע֙ אֱלִישָׁע PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Elisha|Ref=2KI_8:7!2|MId=o120080070021|Strong=0477 4 דַּמֶּ֔שֶׂק דַּמֶּשֶׂק PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Damascus|Ref=2KI_8:7!3|MId=o120080070031|Strong=1834 5-7 וּבֶנ־הֲדַ֥דבֶנ־הֲדַ֥ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_8:7!4|MId=o120080070041|Strong=2050b 6 בֶנ־הֲדַ֥ד בֶּן־הֲדַד PROPN _ _ 10 nsubj _ Gloss=Ben|Ref=2KI_8:7!4|MId=o120080070042 7 בֶנ־הֲדַ֥ד בֶּןהֲדַד PROPN _ _ 6 appos _ Gloss=Hadad|Ref=2KI_8:7!5|MId=o120080070051 8 מֶֽלֶךְ־ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2KI_8:7!6|MId=o120080070061|Strong=4428|SpaceAfter=No 9 אֲרָ֖ם אֲרָם PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Aram|Ref=2KI_8:7!7|MId=o120080070071|Strong=0758 10 חֹלֶ֑ה חָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].sick|Ref=2KI_8:7!8|MId=o120080070081|Strong=2470|Frame=A0:120080070042;|Type=participle_active 11-12 וַיֻּגַּד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_8:7!9|MId=o120080070091|Strong=2050b 12 יֻּגַּד־ נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.was.told|Ref=2KI_8:7!9|MId=o120080070092|Strong=5046|Type=wayyiqtol 13-14 ל֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 ל לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_8:7!10|MId=o120080070101|Strong=3807a 14 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2KI_8:7!10|MId=o120080070102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15-16 לֵאמֹ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 17 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=2KI_8:7!11|MId=o120080070111|Strong=3807a 16 אמֹ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 15 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=2KI_8:7!11|MId=o120080070112|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:;|Type=infinitive_construct 17 בָּ֛א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 advcl _ Gloss=he.has.come|Ref=2KI_8:7!12|MId=o120080070121|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:120080070121;|Type=qatal 18 אִ֥ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=the.man|Ref=2KI_8:7!13|MId=o120080070131|Strong=0376 19-20 הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=2KI_8:7!14|MId=o120080070141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=God|Ref=2KI_8:7!14|MId=o120080070142|Strong=0430 21 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_8:7!15|MId=o120080070151|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 22 הֵֽנָּה הֵנָּה ADV _ _ 17 obl _ Gloss=here|Ref=2KI_8:7!16|MId=o120080070161|Strong=2008|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=2KI_8:7!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּבֹא *he went* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֱלִישָׁע *Elisha* | | | | | חֹלֶה *\[was\] sick* | participle active · qal | בֶנ־הֲדַד *Ben* | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | בָּא *he has come* | qatal · qal | בָּא *he has come* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
