Read Genesis 18. 16-33 Dialogue about Sodom.
In verses 16-21 after reflecting on the promises already made to Abraham,
the LORD tells Abraham why he is concerned about Sodom.
In verses 22-33 Abraham addresses the LORD six times,
pleading for the fate of the righteous people in a sinful city.
God clarifies the status of Sodom, should some righteous people be found in it.
There is talk of forgiveness (v. 26) but, more frequently,
simply the absence of destruction is indicated.
Abraham may be negotiating on behalf of his nephew, Lot, who lives in Sodom.
