# 1 Kings 2:13 · JPS 1917, sentence 2 of 2

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And she said: 'Comest thou peaceably?' And he said: 'Peaceably.'

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Adonijah, thou, Solomon · **What happens:** say, come · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 1 Kings 2:13 · JPS 1917, sentence 2 of 2 in the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, from Mova's open Bible corpus. The page gives the sentence's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, parsed by Mova and checked by a teacher model — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Adonijah, thou, Solomon), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it. The original of the verse links back to its own tree and to the Targum.
