Wikipedia
In Shechem, Jacob's daughter Dinah was kidnapped and raped by the ruler's son, who desired to marry the girl.
Dinah's brothers, Simeon and Levi, agreed in Jacob's name to permit the marriage as long as all the men of Shechem first circumcised themselves, ostensibly to unite the children of Jacob in Abraham's covenant of familial harmony.
On the third day after the circumcisions, when all the men of Shechem were still in pain, Simeon and Levi put them all to death by the sword and rescued their sister Dinah, and their brothers plundered the property, women, and children.
Jacob condemned this act, saying " You have brought trouble on me by making me a stench to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land.
