Usage: Dothan is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as a significant location in the narratives of Joseph and Elisha. Context: Dothan is an ancient city located in the northern part of Israel, identified with the modern site of Tell Dothan. It is first mentioned in the Bible in the context of the story of Joseph. In Genesis 37:17, Joseph's brothers went to Dothan to pasture their father's flocks, and it was here that they conspired against Joseph, eventually selling him into slavery. The city is also noted in the narrative of Elisha in 2 Kings 6:13-14, where the prophet's servant was shown the heavenly army protecting them from the Arameans. Dothan's strategic location along trade routes made it a significant site in biblical times, and its mention in these narratives highlights its role in the unfolding of God's plans for His people.
