# 2 Samuel 19:44 שְׁמוּאֵל ב

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** men, We, ye, words · **What happens:** answer, say, have, despise, not have, bring back · **To what, where:** men, ten parts, right, David, us, advice · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 2 Samuel 19:44 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 — men, We, ye, words — and what happens in the verse to men, ten parts, right, David, us, advice, 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 the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said: 'We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye; why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king?' And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.600/)

## 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.
