Genesis 34:24-29

24Now everyone who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and to his son Shechem, and every male was circumcised, every one who went out the gate of his city.

25Then on the third day while they were in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and came against the city undisturbed and killed every male.

26Hamor and his son Shechem they killed with the sword, then took Dinah from Shechem’s house and left.

27Jacob’s sons came upon the slain and plundered the city because they defiled their sister.

28They took their flocks, their cattle and their donkeys, those that were in the city as well as those that were in the field.

29All their wealth, their little children, and their wives they captured and plundered, as well as everything that was in the houses.
