1 Samuel 27:4 שְׁמוּאֵל א

Who acts: David · What happens: tell, flee, seek · To what, where: Carmelitess, Saul, David, Gath · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is 1 Samuel 27:4 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 — David — and what happens in the verse to Carmelitess, Saul, David, Gath, 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.

וַיֻּגַּ֣ד לְשָׁא֔וּל כִּֽי־בָרַ֥ח דָּוִ֖ד גַּ֑ת וְלֹֽא־יָסַ֥ף ע֖וֹד לְבַקְשֽׁוֹ׃ס

And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath; and he sought no more again for him.

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

וְאִתְחַוָא לְשָׁאוּל אֲרֵי עֲרַק דָוִד לְגַת וְלָא אוֹסִיף עוֹד לְמִבְעוֹהִי:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.

And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath; and he sought no more again for him.
