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, any, I, Ziba, Jonathan, son — and what happens in the verse to kindness, son, feet, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ הַאֶ֨פֶס ע֥וֹד אִישׁ֙ לְבֵ֣ית שָׁא֔וּל וְאֶעֱשֶׂ֥ה עִמּ֖וֹ חֶ֣סֶד אֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיֹּ֤אמֶר צִיבָא֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ ע֛וֹד בֵּ֥ן לִיהוֹנָתָ֖ן נְכֵ֥ה רַגְלָֽיִם׃ [And the king said: 'Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him?'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:2SA:207 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ הַאֶ֨פֶס ע֥וֹד אִישׁ֙ לְבֵ֣ית שָׁא֔וּל וְאֶעֱשֶׂ֥ה עִמּ֖וֹ חֶ֣סֶד אֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיֹּ֤אמֶר צִיבָא֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ ע֛וֹד בֵּ֥ן לִיהוֹנָתָ֖ן נְכֵ֥ה רַגְלָֽיִם׃ # verse = 2SA.9.3 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_9:3!1|MId=o100090030011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2SA_9:3!1|MId=o100090030012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100090030022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_9:3!2|MId=o100090030021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 מֶּ֗לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_9:3!2|MId=o100090030022|Strong=4428 5-6 הַאֶ֨פֶס _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הֲ PART _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=[is].there|Ref=2SA_9:3!3|MId=o100090030031|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 6 אֶ֨פֶס אֶפֶס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=not?|Ref=2SA_9:3!3|MId=o100090030032|Strong=0657 7 ע֥וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=still|Ref=2SA_9:3!4|MId=o100090030041|Strong=5750 8 אִישׁ֙ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=anyone|Ref=2SA_9:3!5|MId=o100090030051|Strong=0376 9-10 לְבֵ֣ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=2SA_9:3!6|MId=o100090030061|Strong=3807a 10 בֵ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=2SA_9:3!6|MId=o100090030062|Strong=1004 11 שָׁא֔וּל שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Saul|Ref=2SA_9:3!7|MId=o100090030071|Strong=7586 12-13 וְאֶעֱשֶׂ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=2SA_9:3!8|MId=o100090030081|Strong=2050b 13 אֶעֱשֶׂ֥ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 6 conj _ Gloss=that.I.may.do|Ref=2SA_9:3!8|MId=o100090030082|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:100090030022;A1:100090030101;|Type=yiqtol 14-15 עִמּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 עִמּ עִם ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=2SA_9:3!9|MId=o100090030091|Strong=5973 15 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2SA_9:3!9|MId=o100090030092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16 חֶ֣סֶד חֶסֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=the.covenant.loyalty|Ref=2SA_9:3!10|MId=o100090030101|Strong=2617 17 אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.God|Ref=2SA_9:3!11|MId=o100090030111|Strong=0430 18-19 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_9:3!12|MId=o100090030121|Strong=2050b 19 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2SA_9:3!12|MId=o100090030122|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100090030131;|Type=wayyiqtol 20 צִיבָא֙ צִיבָא PROPN _ _ 19 nsubj _ Gloss=Ziba|Ref=2SA_9:3!13|MId=o100090030131|Strong=6717 21 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_9:3!14|MId=o100090030141|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_9:3!15|MId=o100090030151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 מֶּ֔לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_9:3!15|MId=o100090030152|Strong=4428 24 ע֛וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 19 ccomp _ Gloss=still|Ref=2SA_9:3!16|MId=o100090030161|Strong=5750 25 בֵּ֥ן בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 nsubj _ Gloss=a.son|Ref=2SA_9:3!17|MId=o100090030171|Strong=1121 26-27 לִיהוֹנָתָ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=2SA_9:3!18|MId=o100090030181|Strong=3807a 27 יהוֹנָתָ֖ן יְהוֹנָתָן PROPN _ _ 25 nmod _ Gloss=Jonathan|Ref=2SA_9:3!18|MId=o100090030182|Strong=3083 28 נְכֵ֥ה נָכֵה ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 amod _ Gloss=stricken|Ref=2SA_9:3!19|MId=o100090030191|Strong=5223|Type=adjective 29 רַגְלָֽיִם רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.both.feet|Ref=2SA_9:3!20|MId=o100090030201|Strong=7272|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=2SA_9:3!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: yes/no question - act: ask - 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* | | | | | אֶעֱשֶׂה *that I may do* | yiqtol · qal | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | חֶסֶד *the covenant loyalty* | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | צִיבָא *Ziba* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
