Genesis 19:1

     1. there came two angels—most probably two of those that had been with Abraham, commissioned to execute the divine judgment against Sodom.

      Lot sat in the gate of Sodom—In Eastern cities it is the market, the seat of justice, of social intercourse and amusement, especially a favorite lounge in the evenings, the arched roof affording a pleasant shade.

Psalms 73:23

     23. Still he was with God, as a dependent beneficiary, and so kept from falling (Ps 73:2).
