John Gill Commentary Genesis 34:29

"and all their wealth, and all their little ones and their wives, took they captive and made a prey, even all that was in the house." — Genesis 34:29 (ASV)

And all their wealth
Or "power" ^F15 or "strength"; every thing that made them mighty and powerful; their gold and silver, their jewels, and rich furniture of their houses, their arms and weapons of war, their goods and substance, in which they trafficked:

and all their little ones and their wives took they captive :
they spared the women and children, as was usual war, and in the plunder of towns and cities:

and spoiled even all that [was] in the house ;
of Shechem or Hamor, or in any of the houses of the inhabitants; they rifled and plundered everyone, and took away whatsoever they found in them; but as Jacob disapproved of this unjust, cruel, bloody, and perfidious action, so no doubt, as he set the captives at liberty, he restored to them their cattle and substance.
