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).
