# 1 Samuel 31:6 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Saul · **What happens:** die

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 1 Samuel 31:6 · JPS 1917 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 (Saul), 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.
