Hosea 6:9

And as troops of robbers wait for a man, lying in ambush in order to fall upon the unsuspecting traveler unawares, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent, for they commit lewdness, or, "they murder on the way to Shechem," surprising the travelers and cutting them down in cold blood, probably as they sought refuge there, or as they were on their way to Bethel with rich sacrificial gifts.
