When Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.

Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.
