Context of Genesis 19:29
27And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Jehovah: 28and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the Plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace. And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt. 30And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. 31And the first-born said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:

Commentaries on Genesis 19:29
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 29God remembered Abraham - Though he did not descend lower than ten righteous persons, (see Genesis 18:32;), yet the Lord had respect to the spirit of his petitions, and spared all those who could be called righteous, and for Abraham's sake offered salvation to all the family of Lot, though neither his sons-in-law elect nor his own wife ultimately profited by it. The former ridiculed the warning; and the latter, though led out by the hands of the angel, yet…Read the comment

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 29God listened to Abraham's plea (compare 18:23–32). But Lot lost everything during the destruction of Sodom. His choice to live in the fertile land of Sodom eventually led him into a dangerous situation (13:10–13). After this, he could no longer remain in the land he had chosen.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2929. when God destroyed the cities, &c.--This is most welcome and instructive after so painful a narrative. It shows if God is a "consuming fire" to the wicked [De 4:24; He 12:29], He is the friend of the righteous. He "remembered" the intercessions of Abraham, and what confidence should not this give us that He will remember the intercessions of a greater than Abraham in our behalf.Read the comment
