Genesis 19:19-20

19Now behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your lovingkindness, which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the 1mountains, for the disaster will overtake me and I will die;

20now behold, this town is near enough to flee to, and it is small. Please, let me escape there (is it not small?) 2that my life may be saved.”
