Destruction of the Cities of the Plain

Genesis 19:24-29

And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.

And he destroyed these cities, and all the country about, all the inhabitants of the cities, and all things that spring from the earth.

And his wife looking behind her, was turned into a statue of salt.

And Abraham got up early in the morning, and in the place where he had stood before with the Lord:

He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and the whole land of that country: and he saw the ashes rise up from the earth as the smoke of a furnace.

Now when God destroyed the cities of that country, remembering Abraham, he delivered Lot out of the destruction of the cities wherein he had dwelt.
