<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of genealogies?

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Rehoboam · **What happens:** not write, act · **To what, where:** acts, histories

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 2 Chronicles 12:15 · JPS 1917, sentence 1 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 (Rehoboam), 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.
