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 — men — and what happens in the verse to David, Sheba, Jordan, 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. וַיַּ֜עַל כָּל־אִ֤ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ מֵאַחֲרֵ֣י דָוִ֔ד אַחֲרֵ֖י שֶׁ֣בַע בֶּן־בִּכְרִ֑י וְאִ֤ישׁ יְהוּדָה֙ דָּבְק֣וּ בְמַלְכָּ֔ם מִן־הַיַּרְדֵּ֖ן וְעַד־יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ [So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah did cleave unto their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.602/) ## 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:533 # text = וַיַּ֜עַל כָּל־אִ֤ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ מֵאַחֲרֵ֣י דָוִ֔ד אַחֲרֵ֖י שֶׁ֣בַע בֶּן־בִּכְרִ֑י וְאִ֤ישׁ יְהוּדָה֙ דָּבְק֣וּ בְמַלְכָּ֔ם מִן־הַיַּרְדֵּ֖ן וְעַד־יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ # verse = 2SA.20.2 1-2 וַיַּ֜עַל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_20:2!1|MId=o100200020011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֜עַל עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.went.up|Ref=2SA_20:2!1|MId=o100200020012|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:100200020031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=every|Ref=2SA_20:2!2|MId=o100200020021|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 4 אִ֤ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(the).man|Ref=2SA_20:2!3|MId=o100200020031|Strong=0376 5 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=2SA_20:2!4|MId=o100200020041|Strong=3478 6-7 מֵאַחֲרֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2SA_20:2!5|MId=o100200020051|Strong=4480 7 אַחֲרֵ֣י אַחַר ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=2SA_20:2!5|MId=o100200020052|Strong=0310 8 דָוִ֔ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=David|Ref=2SA_20:2!6|MId=o100200020061|Strong=1732 9 אַחֲרֵ֖י אַחַר ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=2SA_20:2!7|MId=o100200020071|Strong=0310 10 שֶׁ֣בַע שֶׁבַע NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=Sheba|Ref=2SA_20:2!8|MId=o100200020081|Strong=7652|Type=cardinal_number 11 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=2SA_20:2!9|MId=o100200020091|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 12 בִּכְרִ֑י בִּכְרִי PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Bicri|Ref=2SA_20:2!10|MId=o100200020101|Strong=1075 13-14 וְאִ֤ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_20:2!11|MId=o100200020111|Strong=2050b 14 אִ֤ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=the.man|Ref=2SA_20:2!11|MId=o100200020112|Strong=0376 15 יְהוּדָה֙ יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=2SA_20:2!12|MId=o100200020121|Strong=3063 16 דָּבְק֣וּ דָּבַק VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.clung|Ref=2SA_20:2!13|MId=o100200020131|Strong=1692|Frame=A0:100200020112;|Type=qatal 17-19 בְמַלְכָּ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_20:2!14|MId=o100200020141|Strong=0871a 18 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_20:2!14|MId=o100200020142|Strong=4428 19 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=2SA_20:2!14|MId=o100200020143|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2SA_20:2!15|MId=o100200020151|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 הַיַּרְדֵּ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_20:2!16|MId=o100200020161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 יַּרְדֵּ֖ן יַרְדֵּן PROPN _ _ 16 obl _ Gloss=Jordan|Ref=2SA_20:2!16|MId=o100200020162|Strong=3383 23-24 וְעַד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_20:2!17|MId=o100200020171|Strong=2050b 24 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_20:2!17|MId=o100200020172|Strong=5704 25 יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 22 conj _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=2SA_20:2!18|MId=o100200020181|Strong=3389|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=2SA_20:2!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּעַל *he went up* | wayyiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *(the) man* | | | | | דָּבְקוּ *they clung* | qatal · qal | אִישׁ *the man* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
