"And he said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan." — 2 Kings 6:13 (ASV)
Fetch. — Take.
Dothan. — A contracted dual (equivalent to Dothain Septuagint, Dothaim). It lay on a hill, twelve Roman miles north-east of Samaria, in a narrow pass , on the caravan route from Gilead to Egypt (Genesis 37:17). The old name survives in a Tell, covered with ruins, south-west of the modern Jenîn.
