Genesis 19:27

And Abraham gat up early, &c.— Impatient to know the efficacy of his intercession with the Lord, and trembling for the fate of the unhappy sinners, Abraham rose early, and came to the place where he had stood before, or interceded with the Lord on the former day; when he beheld the dreadful catastrophe, and saw the whole plain, late like another Eden, now one continued scene of smoke, and fire, and ruin. No doubt he was, by some means, soon informed of Lot's rescue, whom the Lord remembered for Abraham's sake, and in conformity to his petition, that "the Judge of all the earth would not destroy the righteous with the wicked."
