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

Verse 3 is found in chapter 19 of 2 Samuel. David’s mourning threatens to turn victory into shame for his own followers. Joab rebukes him, arguing that by publicly mourning Absalom he makes the soldiers who saved his life appear to have acted wrongly. David accepts the advice and sits publicly at the gate. The scene shows the tension between the father’s private grief and the king’s public responsibilities. David must resume leadership even though he remains emotionally broken.

Und es ward aus dem Sieg des Tages ein Leid unter dem ganzen Volk; denn das Volk hatte gehört des Tages, daß sich der König um seinen Sohn bekümmerte.
Entrose el pueblo aquel día en la ciudad escondidamente, como suele entrar a escondidas el pueblo avergonzado que ha huido de la batalla.
Aquel día el pueblo entró a escondidas en la ciudad, como entra a escondidas la gente avergonzada que ha huido de la batalla.
Ce même jour, le peuple rentra dans la ville à la dérobée, comme l'auraient fait des gens honteux d'avoir pris la fuite dans le combat.
E il popolo in quel dì entrò furtivamente nella città, come furtivamente entrerebbe gente che si vergognasse per esser fuggita nella battaglia.
E naquele mesmo dia o povo entrou às furtadelas na cidade, como o faz quando, envergonhado, foge da peleja.
那日軍兵暗暗地進城,如同戰場上逃跑、羞愧的士兵一般。
