Genesis 34:26 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 34:26

And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the
sword
Whom they had been just treating with in a seeming friendly manner: Shechem was the chief aggressor, and his crime was very heinous; but considering that he did all he could, after the fact was committed, to make recompence for the injury done, he deserved other treatment, at least mercy should have been shown him. Hamor, perhaps, was too indulgent to his son, connived at his sin, and did not punish him for it; and, it may be, approved of it, and now dies for it:

and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out;
where she was kept from the time of her being ravished by Shechem, with an intention to marry her, could the consent of her parents and relations be obtained; for it does not appear that he kept her to carry on a criminal conversation with her, but a courtship in order to marriage.

Genesis 34:26 In-Context

24 All the people who had come to the city gate heard this. They agreed with Hamor and Shechem, and every man was circumcised.

25 Three days later the men who were circumcised were still in pain. Two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi (Dinah's brothers), took their swords and made a surprise attack on the city, killing all the men there.

26 They killed Hamor and his son Shechem and then took Dinah out of Shechem's house and left.

27 Jacob's sons came upon the dead bodies and stole everything that was in the city, to pay them back for what Shechem had done to their sister.

28 So the brothers took the flocks, herds, and donkeys, and everything in the city and in the fields.
