1 Samuel 26:1 שְׁמוּאֵל א

Who acts: Ziphites, David, hill · What happens: come, say, not hide, be · To what, where: Gibeah, David, hill · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is 1 Samuel 26:1 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 — Ziphites, David, hill — and what happens in the verse to Gibeah, David, hill, 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 31 chapters of 1 Samuel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

וַיָּבֹ֤אוּ הַזִּפִים֙ אֶל־שָׁא֔וּל הַגִּבְעָ֖תָה לֵאמֹ֑ר הֲל֨וֹא דָוִ֤ד מִסְתַּתֵּר֙ בְּגִבְעַ֣ת הַחֲכִילָ֔ה עַ֖ל פְּנֵ֥י הַיְשִׁימֹֽן׃

And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying: 'Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?'

The 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.

Targum Jonathan

וַאֲתוֹ אֱנָשֵׁי זִיף לְוַת שָׁאוּל לְגִבְעֲתָא לְמֵימַר הֲלָא דָוִד מִטַמָר בְּגִבְעֲתָא דַחֲכִילָה דִי עַל אַפֵּי יְשִׁימוֹן:
