Commentary on Genesis 37:17

Theological / Devotional

Let us go to Dothan. Lying about 12 mi. north of Samaria, in the direction of Esdraelon, Dothan was situated on the great caravan road from the north to Egypt. It lay in an oblong plain containing one of the best grazing areas of Canaan, and was therefore well chosen by Jacob’s sons. It still bears its ancient name, Dotdn. In the time of Elisha it was the scene of a great miracle (see 2 Kings 6:13-19).
