The first example doesn’t tell you much because it contains only subject and verb.

The second example tells you something about David (he is a brother), about brother (this brother is dear and he belongs to me), about moved (where he moved), and about Timbuktu (he has many friends there).

The third example tells you more about David (he did some thinking, he is my brother, and he had lived in San Francisco); about the kind of thinking he did (it was a lot, it was serious, and it was about his life); about brother (he is dear and he is mine); about how, when, and where he had lived (comfortably, for many years, and in San Francisco); about when and where he moved (recently and to Timbuktu); about Timbuktu (it is a word and a town); about word (it is well known); and about town (it is little known).
