Dothan

도단

Genesis 37:17 names it: “The man said, ‘They have left here, for I heard them say, “Let’s go to Dothan.”’ Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.” 2 Kings 6:13–14 says, “He said, ‘Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.’ He was told, ‘Behold, he is in Dothan.’ Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night and surrounded the city.” There the Korean Revised Version names the king and Elisha (왕이 가로되 너희는 가서 엘리사가 어디 있나 보라 … 엘리사가 도단에 있나이다, the king said, Go and see where Elisha is … Elisha is in Dothan).

  • GEN 37:12–22, engwebp

    12His brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.

    13Israel said to Joseph, “Aren’t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” He said to him, “Here I am.”

    14He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

    15A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, “What are you looking for?”

    16He said, “I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock.”

    17The man said, “They have left here, for I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’” Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.

    18They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.

    19They said to one another, “Behold, this dreamer comes.

    20Come now therefore, and let’s kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’ We will see what will become of his dreams.”

    21Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, “Let’s not take his life.”

    22Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.
