Simeon
& Levi slay the Sichemites.
Genesis 34:25-29
And it came
to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of
the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took
each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew
all the males. And they slew Hamore and Shechem his son with
the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house,
and went out. The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled
the city, because they had defiled their sister. They took
their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which
was in the city, and that which was in the field,
And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their
wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was
in the house. (KJV)
