This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They, i.e. one of them, as ofttimes that which is done by one man is imputed to the whole body. See Jos_7:1,11,12 22:20 Mat_2:20. Or they impute Shechem’s fact to all, either invidiously and cunningly to take off from themselves the reproach of this cruel action; or because they made themselves guilty of it, either by not discouraging and hindering that filthiness as far as they might, or by their being instrumental in it, or by their approbation of it and complacency in it.
