2 Samuel 19:3

New International Reader’s Version (1998)Other versions

English

³The 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.

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

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

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

The army came secretly into the city on that day because the army was disgraced when they fled in the battle,

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