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 — Absalom — and what happens in the verse to Absalom, 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 24 chapters of 2 Samuel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח אַבְשָׁל֜וֹם אֶל־יוֹאָ֗ב לִשְׁלֹ֤חַ אֹתוֹ֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וְלֹ֥א אָבָ֖ה לָב֣וֹא אֵלָ֑יו וַיִּשְׁלַ֥ח עוֹד֙ שֵׁנִ֔ית וְלֹ֥א אָבָ֖ה לָבֽוֹא׃ [Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him; and he sent again a second time, but he would not come.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.413/) ## 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:2SA:362 # text = וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח אַבְשָׁל֜וֹם אֶל־יוֹאָ֗ב לִשְׁלֹ֤חַ אֹתוֹ֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וְלֹ֥א אָבָ֖ה לָב֣וֹא אֵלָ֑יו וַיִּשְׁלַ֥ח עוֹד֙ שֵׁנִ֔ית וְלֹ֥א אָבָ֖ה לָבֽוֹא׃ # verse = 2SA.14.29 1-2 וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_14:29!1|MId=o100140290011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׁלַ֨ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.sent|Ref=2SA_14:29!1|MId=o100140290012|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:100140290021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אַבְשָׁל֜וֹם אַבְשָׁלֹום PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Absalom|Ref=2SA_14:29!2|MId=o100140290021|Strong=0053 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_14:29!3|MId=o100140290031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 יוֹאָ֗ב יוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Joab|Ref=2SA_14:29!4|MId=o100140290041|Strong=3097 6-7 לִשְׁלֹ֤חַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_14:29!5|MId=o100140290051|Strong=3807a 7 שְׁלֹ֤חַ שָׁלַח VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=send|Ref=2SA_14:29!5|MId=o100140290052|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:100140290041;A1:100140290062;|Type=infinitive_construct 8-9 אֹתוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=|Ref=2SA_14:29!6|MId=o100140290061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 9 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=2SA_14:29!6|MId=o100140290062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_14:29!7|MId=o100140290071|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_14:29!8|MId=o100140290081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 מֶּ֔לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_14:29!8|MId=o100140290082|Strong=4428 13-14 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_14:29!9|MId=o100140290091|Strong=2050b 14 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2SA_14:29!9|MId=o100140290092|Strong=3808|Type=negative 15 אָבָ֖ה אָבָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.was.willing|Ref=2SA_14:29!10|MId=o100140290101|Strong=0014|Frame=A0:100140290041;|Type=qatal 16-17 לָב֣וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_14:29!11|MId=o100140290111|Strong=3807a 17 ב֣וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 15 xcomp _ Gloss=come|Ref=2SA_14:29!11|MId=o100140290112|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:100140290041;|Type=infinitive_construct 18-19 אֵלָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אֵלָ֑י אֶל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_14:29!12|MId=o100140290121|Strong=0413 19 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2SA_14:29!12|MId=o100140290122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20-21 וַיִּשְׁלַ֥ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_14:29!13|MId=o100140290131|Strong=2050b 21 יִּשְׁלַ֥ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.sent|Ref=2SA_14:29!13|MId=o100140290132|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:100140290021;|Type=wayyiqtol 22 עוֹד֙ עוֹד ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=again|Ref=2SA_14:29!14|MId=o100140290141|Strong=5750 23 שֵׁנִ֔ית שֵׁנִי NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 advmod _ Gloss=a.second.[time]|Ref=2SA_14:29!15|MId=o100140290151|Strong=8145|Type=ordinal_number 24-25 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_14:29!16|MId=o100140290161|Strong=2050b 25 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 26 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2SA_14:29!16|MId=o100140290162|Strong=3808|Type=negative 26 אָבָ֖ה אָבָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.was.willing|Ref=2SA_14:29!17|MId=o100140290171|Strong=0014|Frame=A0:100140290041;|Type=qatal 27-28 לָבֽוֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_14:29!18|MId=o100140290181|Strong=3807a 28 בֽוֹא בּוֹא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 26 xcomp _ Gloss=come|Ref=2SA_14:29!18|MId=o100140290182|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:100140290041;|Type=infinitive_construct 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=2SA_14:29!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּשְׁלַח *he sent* | wayyiqtol · qal | אַבְשָׁלוֹם *Absalom* | | | | | שְׁלֹחַ *send* | infinitive construct · qal | יוֹאָב *Joab* | וֹ *him* | | | | **not** אָבָה *he was willing* | qatal · qal | יוֹאָב *Joab* | | | | | בוֹא *come* | infinitive construct · qal | יוֹאָב *Joab* | | | | | יִּשְׁלַח *he sent* | wayyiqtol · qal | אַבְשָׁלוֹם *Absalom* | | | | | **not** אָבָה *he was willing* | qatal · qal | יוֹאָב *Joab* | | | | | בֽוֹא *come* | infinitive construct · qal | יוֹאָב *Joab* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
