Amplified Bible
Genesis 34:24-29
24And every [Canaanite] man who went out of the city gate listened and considered what Hamor and Shechem said; and every male who was a resident of that city was circumcised.
25Now on the third day [after the circumcision], when all the men were [terribly] sore and in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s [full] brothers, took their swords, boldly entered the city [without anyone suspecting them of evil intent], and they killed every male.
26They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house [where she was staying], and left.
27Then Jacob’s [other] sons came upon those who were killed and looted the town, because their sister had been defiled and disgraced.
28They took the Canaanites’ flocks and their herds and their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and in the field;
29they looted all their wealth, and [took captive] all their children and their wives, even everything that was in the houses.
