# 1 Samuel 10:24 שְׁמוּאֵל א

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Samuel, ye, LORD, none, people · **What happens:** say, see, choose, be, shout, live · **To what, where:** Samuel, king · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 1 Samuel 10:24 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 — Samuel, ye, LORD, none, people — and what happens in the verse to Samuel, king, 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.

[And Samuel said to all the people: 'See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?' And all the people shouted, and said: 'Long live the king.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.254/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.

- voice: character
- speech: a frame and its quote
- negation: yes
- the frame alone: decl · narrate · none

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.
