(KJV.)  GENESIS 19:16-23

Lot entertains angels

(16)  And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the band of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him, and they brought him forth and set him without the city.*
(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)  And Lot said unto them,  Oh, not so, my Lord:
(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)  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)  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)  Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither.  Therefore the name of the city was called *Zoar.*
(23)  The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
