## Genesis 19:19-23 in Context (Verses 16–26 KJV)
 
 [16 ](/kjv/genesis/19/16) And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/genesis/19/17) ¶ And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/genesis/19/18) And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
 
 [19 ](/kjv/genesis/19/19) Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
 
 [20 ](/kjv/genesis/19/20) Behold now, this city *is* near to flee unto, and it *is* a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (*is* it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/genesis/19/21) And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/genesis/19/22) Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.*
 
 [23 ](/kjv/genesis/19/23) ¶ The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.*
 
 [24 ](/kjv/genesis/19/24) Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
 
 [25 ](/kjv/genesis/19/25) And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/genesis/19/26) ¶ But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
