Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said, go, and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him,.... But how could he expect to take him, who could give the king of Israel such intelligence of his designs against him, that he might escape his snares?
and it was told him, saying, behold, he is in Dothan; a city in the tribe of Manasseh, not far from Shechem; see Genesis 37:17.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Dothan - See the marginal reference note. It was at no great distance from Shechem. Its ancient name still attaches to a Tel or hill of a marked character (compare 2 Kings 6:17), from the foot of which arises a copious fountain.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 6:13. Behold, he is in Dothan. — This is supposed to be the same place as that mentioned in Genesis 37:17. It lay about twelve miles from Samaria.
