# 1 Samuel 30:22 שְׁמוּאֵל א

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** wicked men, David, we · **What happens:** answer, go, say, not go, not give, recover · **To what, where:** aught, David, spoil, wife, men · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 1 Samuel 30:22 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 — wicked men, David, we — and what happens in the verse to aught, David, spoil, wife, men, 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.

[Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows, of those that went with David, and said: 'Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.871/)

## 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.
