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, thou — and what happens in the verse to city, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ אֶל־צָד֣וֹק הַכֹּהֵ֔ן הֲרוֹאֶ֣ה אַתָּ֔ה שֻׁ֥בָה הָעִ֖יר בְּשָׁל֑וֹם וַאֲחִימַ֨עַץ בִּנְךָ֜ וִיהוֹנָתָ֧ן בֶּן־אֶבְיָתָ֛ר שְׁנֵ֥י בְנֵיכֶ֖ם אִתְּכֶֽם׃ [The king said also unto Zadok the priest: 'Seest thou? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.446/) ## 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:393 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ אֶל־צָד֣וֹק הַכֹּהֵ֔ן הֲרוֹאֶ֣ה אַתָּ֔ה שֻׁ֥בָה הָעִ֖יר בְּשָׁל֑וֹם וַאֲחִימַ֨עַץ בִּנְךָ֜ וִיהוֹנָתָ֧ן בֶּן־אֶבְיָתָ֛ר שְׁנֵ֥י בְנֵיכֶ֖ם אִתְּכֶֽם׃ # verse = 2SA.15.27 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_15:27!1|MId=o100150270011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2SA_15:27!1|MId=o100150270012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100150270022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_15:27!2|MId=o100150270021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_15:27!2|MId=o100150270022|Strong=4428 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_15:27!3|MId=o100150270031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6 צָד֣וֹק צָדוֹק PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Zadok|Ref=2SA_15:27!4|MId=o100150270041|Strong=6659 7-8 הַכֹּהֵ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_15:27!5|MId=o100150270051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 כֹּהֵ֔ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 appos _ Gloss=priest|Ref=2SA_15:27!5|MId=o100150270052|Strong=3548 9-10 הֲרוֹאֶ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=a|Ref=2SA_15:27!6|MId=o100150270061|Strong=1886b|Type=definite_article 10 רוֹאֶ֣ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=seer?|Ref=2SA_15:27!6|MId=o100150270062|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:100150270041;|Type=participle_active 11 אַתָּ֔ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].you|Ref=2SA_15:27!7|MId=o100150270071|Strong=0859|Type=personal 12-13 שֻׁ֥בָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 שֻׁ֥ב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 10 parataxis _ Gloss=return|Ref=2SA_15:27!8|MId=o100150270081|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:100150270041;|Type=imperative 13 ָה ה X _ _ 12 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=2SA_15:27!8|MId=o100150270082|Strong=1886j|Type=directional_he 14-15 הָעִ֖יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_15:27!9|MId=o100150270091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 עִ֖יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=city|Ref=2SA_15:27!9|MId=o100150270092|Strong=5892 16-17 בְּשָׁל֑וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2SA_15:27!10|MId=o100150270101|Strong=0871a 17 שָׁל֑וֹם שָׁלוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=peace|Ref=2SA_15:27!10|MId=o100150270102|Strong=7965 18-19 וַאֲחִימַ֨עַץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_15:27!11|MId=o100150270111|Strong=2050b 19 אֲחִימַ֨עַץ אֲחִימַעַץ PROPN _ _ 30 nsubj _ Gloss=Ahimaaz|Ref=2SA_15:27!11|MId=o100150270112|Strong=0290 20-21 בִּנְךָ֜ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בִּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 appos _ Gloss=son|Ref=2SA_15:27!12|MId=o100150270121|Strong=1121 21 ְךָ֜ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2SA_15:27!12|MId=o100150270122|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 22-23 וִיהוֹנָתָ֧ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וִ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_15:27!13|MId=o100150270131|Strong=2050b 23 יהוֹנָתָ֧ן יְהוֹנָתָן PROPN _ _ 19 conj _ Gloss=Jonathan|Ref=2SA_15:27!13|MId=o100150270132|Strong=3083 24 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=2SA_15:27!14|MId=o100150270141|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 25 אֶבְיָתָ֛ר אֶבְיָתָר PROPN _ _ 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Abiathar|Ref=2SA_15:27!15|MId=o100150270151|Strong=0054 26 שְׁנֵ֥י שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 27 nummod _ Gloss=the.two|Ref=2SA_15:27!16|MId=o100150270161|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 27-28 בְנֵיכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 בְנֵי בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 appos _ Gloss=sons|Ref=2SA_15:27!17|MId=o100150270171|Strong=1121 28 כֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2SA_15:27!17|MId=o100150270172|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 29-30 אִתְּכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=2SA_15:27!18|MId=o100150270181|Strong=0854 30 ְכֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 conj _ Gloss=you|Ref=2SA_15:27!18|MId=o100150270182|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=2SA_15:27!18 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | | | | | רוֹאֶה *seer?* | participle active · qal | צָדוֹק *Zadok* | | | | | שֻׁב *return* | imperative · qal | צָדוֹק *Zadok* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
