18. And Lot said to them, “No, please, my lords.
19. Behold, your servant has found favor in your eyes and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot flee to the mountains, lest the disaster overtake me and I die.
20. Behold, this city is near enough to flee there, and it is a little one. Please, let me flee there. Is it not a little one? Then my life shall be saved.”
21. And he said to him, “Behold, I will grant this favor as well; that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
22. Escape there quickly, for I cannot do this thing until you get there.” Therefore, there name of the city was called Zoar.
23. After the sun had risen upon the earth and Lot had entered Zoar,
24. Yahweh rained down from heaven upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Yahweh.
