SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
go up
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'leaf of' is incorrect due to an incorrect root mapping; in context, it is the verb for 'ascend' in the imperative to David. 'Go up' is both root-faithful and proper for the command. |
| P1 Flag | wrong root/Strong's for context |
