Genesis 34:25-31
But three days later, when their wounds were still sore, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, who were Dinah’s full brothers, took their swords and entered the town without opposition. Then they slaughtered every male there,including Hamor and his son Shechem. They killed them with their swords, then took Dinah from Shechem’s house and returned to their camp.Meanwhile, the rest of Jacob’s sons arrived. Finding the men slaughtered, they plundered the town because their sister had been defiled there.They seized all the flocks and herds and donkeys— everything they could lay their hands on, both inside the town and outside in the fields.They looted all their wealth and plundered their houses. They also took all their little children and wives and led them away as captives.Afterward Jacob said to Simeon and Levi,“ You have ruined me! You’ve made me stink among all the people of this land— among all the Canaanites and Perizzites. We are so few that they will join forces and crush us. I will be ruined, and my entire household will be wiped out!”“ But why should we let him treat our sister like a prostitute?” they retorted angrily.

Genesis 29:33-34
She soon became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She named him Simeon, for she said,“ The Lord heard that I was unloved and has given me another son.”Then she became pregnant a third time and gave birth to another son. He was named Levi, for she said,“ Surely this time my husband will feel affection for me, since I have given him three sons!”
