Source of the Jordan River. Sam and the pilgrims arrived there after about an hours ride over a rough, rocky road. September 18, 1867.  He refers to Dan as "Dutch Flat".

The Hebrew Bible states that prior to its conquest by the tribe of Dan the site was known as Laish with variant spellings within the Books of Joshua, Judges and Isaiah.In Joshua 19:47 it is called Leshem or Lesem, which means "jewel". Isaiah 10:30 has the alternative name Laishah in a number of translations. Tel Dan is a modern Israeli name for the site. .https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_(ancient_city)

From Bædeker:  (1898)

Tell el-Kâdi. — History. The words Kâdi (Arabic for 'judge1) and Dan (Hebrew) are synonymous. On the Tell el-Kâdi doubtless stood the ancient city of Dan, the northern frontier-town of"the Israelitish kingdom, whence arose the often recurring expression 'from Dan to Beersheba1'.  Before the place was conquered by the Danites (Judg. xviii. 27) it was called Laish, and belonged to the territory of Sidon. It was afterwards conquered by Benhadad, King of Syria (1 Kings xv. 20).

The Tell el-Kâdi is an extensive mound, 330 paces long, 270 paces wide, and 30-38 ft. above the plain. On the top is a Muslim tomb under a fine oak. On the W. side of the hill we descend a rocky slope to a basin about 60 paces in width, from which a stream emerges (500 ft. above the sea-level). From the S.W. corner of the mound issues another stream, probably from the same source, soon uniting with the other to form El-Leddân. This stream, which Josephus calls the Little Jordan, is popularly regarded as the chief source of the Jordan from its being the most copious.  It contains twice as much water as the stream from Bâniyâs, and thrice as much as the Hâsbânî. The three sources unite at Shêkh Yûsuf, about 4 1/2 M. below the Tell el-Kâdi. At this last point the Jordan is 45 ft.  wide, its bed being doubie that width, and it lies 12-20 ft. below the level of the plain. (Route 31, page 299)
