That day the people stole away to go to the city the way people who are embarrassed steal away in fleeing from battle.

那日众民暗暗地进城，就如败阵逃跑、惭愧的民一般。

那日军兵暗暗地进城，如同战场上逃跑、羞愧的士兵一般。

那日军兵暗暗地进城，如同战场上逃跑、羞愧的士兵一般。

那一天，众人都静悄悄地回城去，好像败兵一样羞愧万分。

那一天，众人偷偷进城，就像军人从战场上逃跑，羞愧地偷偷回来一样。

那日眾民暗暗地進城，就如敗陣逃跑、慚愧的民一般。

那日軍兵暗暗地進城，如同戰場上逃跑、羞愧的士兵一般。

那日軍兵暗暗地進城，如同戰場上逃跑、羞愧的士兵一般。

那一天，眾人都靜悄悄地回城去，好像敗兵一樣羞愧萬分。

那一天，眾人偷偷進城，就像軍人從戰場上逃跑，羞愧地偷偷回來一樣。

那一天眾民偷偷走着進城，就像眾民在戰場上逃跑、很覺慚愧、偷偷走了一樣。

那天，軍兵偷偷進城，就像從戰場逃跑後羞愧地偷偷進城一樣。

當日民私歸邑、如戰敗者、含羞而退、

民私歸邑、若戰敗者、恥而遁逃。

當時民潛入邑、如敗陣逃遁自慙之民然、

The men stole into the city that day as men steal in who are ashamed when they flee from battle.

The men came quietly into the city that day. They were like fighting men who are ashamed because they’ve run away from a battle.

And the people stole into the city that day as people steal in who are ashamed when they flee in battle.

They crept back into the town that day as though they were ashamed and had deserted in battle.

So they returned to the city quietly that day like troops come in when they are humiliated after fleeing in battle.

And the people entered the city surreptitiously that day, just as people who are humiliated surreptitiously flee in battle.

And the people stole back into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in 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.

So they returned to the city quietly that day like people come in when they are humiliated after fleeing in battle.

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

The people sneaked into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.

Why did you run away secretly and deceive me? Why didn’t you tell me so I could send you off with a celebration complete with singing, tambourines, and harps?

Meanwhile David had gone to Mahanaim, while Absalom and all the men of Israel had crossed the Jordan River.
