Sodom

A city God destroyed during the time of Abraham. Scholars do not know where the city was located, for no traces of it have been found. Lot and his family went to live in Sodom after he separated from Abraham. Later, God told Abraham He was going to destroy Sodom and another city, Gomorrah, because of the evil behavior of the people. Abraham pleaded with God, and for the sake of Abraham, God warned Lot to take his family and run away.
