Chiddekem
Chiddekem is the son of Pered and the father of Hamor the Hivite. He and his six brothers refused to listen to Shechem and Hamor about circumcision, finding the proposal of the sons of Jacob loathsome. Chiddekem and his brothers sprang at them with swords and sought to slay them. Their words caused Hamor, Shechem, and the people of the city to become terribly afraid and repent.
