Atheling
An atheling is a man of royal blood; a prince.
Hamor, an atheling of Shechem, raped Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah.
When Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force. (Genesis 34:2, NASB)
Dinah's brothers Simeon and Levi avenged her.
Note: This woodcut of Genesis 34 was created by Johann Christoph Weigel (1654-1726) in 1695.
