# 2 Samuel 21:9 שְׁמוּאֵל ב

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** king, sons · **What happens:** deliver, hang, fall, put, begin · **To what, where:** sons, hands, Gibeonites, mountain, beginning, barley harvest

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 2 Samuel 21:9 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 — king, sons — and what happens in the verse to sons, hands, Gibeonites, mountain, beginning, barley harvest, 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.

[and he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before the LORD, and they fell all seven together; and they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.643/)

## 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.
