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 — Philistines, David — and what happens in the verse to David, Israel, 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. וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים כִּי־מָשְׁח֨וּ אֶת־דָּוִ֤ד לְמֶ֙לֶךְ֙ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיַּעֲל֥וּ כָל־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים לְבַקֵּ֣שׁ אֶת־דָּוִ֑ד וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע דָּוִ֔ד וַיֵּ֖רֶד אֶל־הַמְּצוּדָֽה׃ [And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.144/) ## 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:126 # text = וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים כִּי־מָשְׁח֨וּ אֶת־דָּוִ֤ד לְמֶ֙לֶךְ֙ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיַּעֲל֥וּ כָל־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים לְבַקֵּ֣שׁ אֶת־דָּוִ֑ד וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע דָּוִ֔ד וַיֵּ֖רֶד אֶל־הַמְּצוּדָֽה׃ # verse = 2SA.5.17 1-2 וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_5:17!1|MId=o100050170011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׁמְע֣וּ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.heard|Ref=2SA_5:17!1|MId=o100050170012|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:100050170021;A1:100050170041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים פְּלִשְׁתִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].Philistines|Ref=2SA_5:17!2|MId=o100050170021|Strong=6430|Type=gentilic 4 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=2SA_5:17!3|MId=o100050170031|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 5 מָשְׁח֨וּ מָשַׁח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=people.had.anointed|Ref=2SA_5:17!4|MId=o100050170041|Strong=4886|Frame=A0:;A1:100050170061;|Type=qatal 6 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2SA_5:17!5|MId=o100050170051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 7 דָּוִ֤ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 5 obj _ Gloss=David|Ref=2SA_5:17!6|MId=o100050170061|Strong=1732 8-9 לְמֶ֙לֶךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_5:17!7|MId=o100050170071|Strong=3807a 9 מֶ֙לֶךְ֙ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_5:17!7|MId=o100050170072|Strong=4428 10 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=2SA_5:17!8|MId=o100050170081|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 11 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 5 obl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=2SA_5:17!9|MId=o100050170091|Strong=3478 12-13 וַיַּעֲל֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_5:17!10|MId=o100050170101|Strong=2050b 13 יַּעֲל֥וּ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.went.up|Ref=2SA_5:17!10|MId=o100050170102|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:100050170121;|Type=wayyiqtol 14 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=2SA_5:17!11|MId=o100050170111|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 15 פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים פְּלִשְׁתִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[the].Philistines|Ref=2SA_5:17!12|MId=o100050170121|Strong=6430|Type=gentilic 16-17 לְבַקֵּ֣שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_5:17!13|MId=o100050170131|Strong=3807a 17 בַקֵּ֣שׁ בָּקַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 13 advcl _ Gloss=seek|Ref=2SA_5:17!13|MId=o100050170132|Strong=1245|Frame=A0:100050170121;A1:100050170151;|Type=infinitive_construct 18 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2SA_5:17!14|MId=o100050170141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 19 דָּוִ֑ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 17 obj _ Gloss=David|Ref=2SA_5:17!15|MId=o100050170151|Strong=1732 20-21 וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_5:17!16|MId=o100050170161|Strong=2050b 21 יִּשְׁמַ֣ע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.heard|Ref=2SA_5:17!16|MId=o100050170162|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:100050170171;|Type=wayyiqtol 22 דָּוִ֔ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 21 nsubj _ Gloss=David|Ref=2SA_5:17!17|MId=o100050170171|Strong=1732 23-24 וַיֵּ֖רֶד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_5:17!18|MId=o100050170181|Strong=2050b 24 יֵּ֖רֶד יָרַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.went.down|Ref=2SA_5:17!18|MId=o100050170182|Strong=3381|Frame=A0:100050170171;|Type=wayyiqtol 25 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_5:17!19|MId=o100050170191|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 26-27 הַמְּצוּדָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_5:17!20|MId=o100050170201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 מְּצוּדָֽה מְצוּדָה NOUN _ Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=stronghold|Ref=2SA_5:17!20|MId=o100050170202|Strong=4686a 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=2SA_5:17!20 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּשְׁמְעוּ *they heard* | wayyiqtol · qal | פְלִשְׁתִּים *\[the\] Philistines* | מָשְׁחוּ *people had anointed* | | | | מָשְׁחוּ *people had anointed* | qatal · qal | | דָּוִד *David* | | | | יַּעֲלוּ *they went up* | wayyiqtol · qal | פְּלִשְׁתִּים *\[the\] Philistines* | | | | | בַקֵּשׁ *seek* | infinitive construct · piel | פְּלִשְׁתִּים *\[the\] Philistines* | דָּוִד *David* | | | | יִּשְׁמַע *he heard* | wayyiqtol · qal | דָּוִד *David* | | | | | יֵּרֶד *he went down* | wayyiqtol · qal | דָּוִד *David* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
