Context of Genesis 19:5
3And he urged them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house. And he made them a repast, and baked unleavened cakes; and they ate. 4Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, from the youngest to the oldest — all the people from every quarter. And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that have come in to thee to-night? bring them out to us that we may know them. 6And Lot went out to them to the entrance, and shut the door after him, 7and said, I pray you, my brethren, do not wickedly!

Commentaries on Genesis 19:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5Where are the men which came in to thee, etc. - This account justifies the character given of this depraved people in the preceding chapter, Genesis 18:20, and in Genesis 23:13. As their crime was the deepest disgrace to human nature, so it is too bad to be described; in the sacred text it is sufficiently marked; and the iniquity which, from these most abominable wretches, has been called Sodomy, is punished in our country with death.Read the comment

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 4-5The evil actions of the men of the city were matched by the hypocrisy of Lot (19:6–9). The men acted in a wicked and violent way toward Lot’s visitors. Lot tried to protect his guests. However, he offered his daughters to the crowd instead. This action showed serious moral failure.Read the comment

Lot sat in the gate of Sodom--In Eastern cities it is the market, the seat of justice, of social intercourse and amusement, especially a favorite lounge in the evenings, the arched roof affording a pleasant shade.Read the comment
