But before they lay down, the men of the
city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man,
surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to
you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.”
Every single man in the city showed up to
have their way with the two strange men rumored to be staying at Lot's place.
There were no men left in the city other than Lot who were not conspiring to
molest these two men. The whole town was the bad part of town. Sodom was not
interested in "getting to know" these men as friends or enemies, but
to "know" them the way Adam knew Eve resulting in the conception of
children. Abraham's proposal to find 10 righteous men would fail and Sodom
would be destroyed.
