2 Samuel 19:3

And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.

And the people {H5971} gat {H935} them by stealth {H1589} that day {H3117} into the city {H5892}, as people {H5971} being ashamed {H3637} steal away {H1589} when they flee {H5127} in battle {H4421}.

so that the people entered the city furtively that day, the way that people who are ashamed creep away when fleeing a battlefield.

So they returned to the city quietly that day, as people steal away in humiliation after fleeing a battle.

And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people that are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
