Do·than /ˈdoθən/
 Dothan
    two wells, a famous pasture-ground where Joseph found his
    brethren watching their flocks. Here, at the suggestion of
    Judah, they sold him to the Ishmaelite merchants (Gen. 37:17).
    It is mentioned on monuments in B.C. 1600.
      It was the residence of Elisha (2 Kings 6:13), and the scene
    of a remarkable vision of chariots and horses of fire
    surrounding the mountain on which the city stood. It is
    identified with the modern Tell-Dothan, on the south side of the
    plain of Jezreel, about 12 miles north of Samaria, among the
    hills of Gilboa. The "two wells" are still in existence, one of
    which bears the name of the "pit of Joseph" (Jubb Yusuf).
