Here the author is using the pronoun they in a general sense, not to refer to specific people. Use an expression for this that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Someone declared to David] or [David was told]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וַ⁠יִּשְׁלַ֣ח לִ⁠קְרָאתָ֔⁠ם כִּֽי־הָי֥וּ הָ⁠אֲנָשִׁ֖ים נִכְלָמִ֣ים מְאֹ֑ד

(Some words not found in UHB: and,people_told to,David and,he_sent to,meet,them that/for/because/then/when they_were the,men humiliated very and=he/it_said the=king stay in,Jericho until grown beard_of,your(pl) and,you(pl)_will_return )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [and since the men were greatly humiliated, he sent to meet them]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הָי֥וּ הָ⁠אֲנָשִׁ֖ים נִכְלָמִ֣ים מְאֹ֑ד

The expression were greatly humiliated is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [this had greatly humiliated the men]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יֹּ֤אמֶר הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙

The author is saying the king to mean his messengers, who were speaking on his behalf. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [And the king’s messengers told them]
