Shechem보다 북쪽의 지역이다. Joseph (Son of Jacob)이 형들이 잘 있는지를 살펴보기 위해 갔다가 이곳에서 형들에 의해 노예로 팔렸다.

Genesis 37:13-18

13
Israel said to Joseph, “Aren’t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” He said to him, “Here I am.”
14
He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15
A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, “What are you looking for?”
16
He said, “I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock.”
17
The man said, “They have left here, for I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’ ” Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18
They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.

Elisha가 이곳에 있었을 때에 Aram의 왕이 그를 잡으려 했었다.

2 Kings 6:13-23

13
He said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.” He was told, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”
14
Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night, and surrounded the city.
15
When the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
16
He answered, “Don’t be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17
Elisha prayed, and said, “Yahweh, please open his eyes, that he may see.” Yahweh opened the young man’s eyes; and he saw: and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
18
When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.” He struck them with blindness according to Elishah’s word.
19
Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” He led them to Samaria.
20
When they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, “Yahweh, open these men’s eyes, that they may see.” Yahweh opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, they were in the middle of Samaria.
21
The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?”
22
He answered, “You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.”
23
He prepared a great feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria stopped raiding the land of Israel.
