Translations
The people crept back into the city that day like shamed soldiers slipping away from a battle they had fled.
The people stole into the city that day as soldiers slink back who are ashamed—as men who flee 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.
So they returned to the city quietly that day, as people steal away in humiliation after fleeing a battle.
