Lot was the son of Haran and the nephew of Abraham (Gen.11.27,31). He traveled with Abraham from Ur to Canaan (Gen.12.4-5). Due to strife between their herdsmen, Lot chose to settle in the plain of Jordan near Sodom (Gen.13.1-13). Lot was captured when Sodom was invaded, but Abraham rescued him (Gen.14.12,16). Despite the wickedness of Sodom, Lot continued living there (Gen.19.1). When God revealed His plan to destroy the city, Abraham pleaded for Lot's safety (Gen.18.16-33). Two angels warned Lot to flee Sodom with his family (Gen.19.1-22). Lot's wife disobeyed and was turned into a pillar of salt (Gen.19.26; Lk.17.32). Lot and his daughters escaped to Zoar and later settled in a cave (Gen.19.30). Lot's daughters, believing they were the last survivors, got him drunk and slept with him, resulting in the births of Moab and Ammon (Gen.19.31-38; Ps.83.8). The New Testament describes Lot as a righteous man distressed by the debauchery of Sodom (2Pe.2.7). Jesus used Lot's story as a warning about the suddenness of His return (Lk.17.28-29).
