Genesis 19:38

38. Ben-ammi Which means, son of my people; that is, begotten of my own race . The Ammonites expelled the Zamzummim, and occupied their land, on the north of the territory of Moab . Deuteronomy 2:19-21. “In Lot’s history we may trace the judgment as well as the mercy of God. His selfish choice of the plain of the Jordan led him, perhaps, to present wealth and prosperity, but withal to temptation and danger. In the midst of the abandoned profligacy of Sodom he, indeed, was preserved in comparative purity, and so, when God overthrew the cities of the plain, he yet saved Lot from destruction. Still Lot’s feebleness of faith first caused him to linger, (Genesis 19:16,) then to fear escape to the mountains, (Genesis 19:19,) and, lastly, to doubt the safety of the place which God had spared for him, Genesis 19:30. Now again he is led by his children into intoxication, which betrays him, unconsciously, into far more dreadful wickedness. And then we hear of him no more. He is left by the sacred narrative, saved indeed from the conflagration of Sodom, but an outcast widowed, homeless, hopeless, without children or grandchildren, save the authors and the heirs of his shame.” Speaker’s Commentary.
