Dothan] Dothan (as some write) is as farre distant from Shechem, as Shechem from Hebron; others reckon them to be about eight miles asunder, but if it were no more, yet added to the former journey it was a great way, and Josephs readinesse to take the paines to doe more then his father did command him, following to the full rather what he meant then what he bad him doe, is a commendable example of child-like obedience to his father, and might have beene an occasion of great benevolence from his brethren, if they had not beene prepapared with the prejudice of precedent envy, and malice, to requite his good with their evill. In this place (yet not a Citie) was afterwards a Citie built called by that name, 2 Kings 6:13.
