# 2 Samuel 19:14 שְׁמוּאֵל ב

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** ye, thou, God · **What happens:** say, not be, do · **To what, where:** Amasa, bone, me, captain, room · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 2 Samuel 19:14 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 — ye, thou, God — and what happens in the verse to Amasa, bone, me, captain, room, 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 24 chapters of 2 Samuel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

[And say ye to Amasa: Art thou not my bone and my flesh?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.563/) [God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.564/)

## 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.

## Pragmatics {#pragmatics}

<!-- sa -->
- form: yes/no question
- act: ask
- voice: character
- speech: a frame and its quote
- negation: yes
- the frame alone: decl · assert · none

<!-- .fr -->
| verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

<!-- .note -->
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.
