Theological / Devotional

Dothan. A town on the regular caravan route between Gilead and Egypt, near the plain of Esdraelon and a pass leading to the highlands of Samaria. It was 14 1/8 mi. (22.6 km.) north by east from Shechem, and 10 mi. (16 km.) north by east of Samaria. It was here that a band of Israelites on their way from Gilead to Egypt purchased Joseph (Gen. 37:17-28). This site is now known as Tell Dotha.

Sent he thither horses. Being on the regular caravan route, Dothan could readily be approached by a large company of soldiers equipped with horses and chariots.
