Abraham's nephew who chose the nice neighborhood — and it almost destroyed him
Traveled with Abraham from Ur but split off and chose to settle near Sodom because the land looked good (Genesis 13). He ended up in the middle of Sodom's destruction, rescued by angels who literally had to drag him out (Genesis 19). His wife looked back and became a pillar of salt. Despite all this, 2 Peter 2:7 calls him 'righteous Lot' who was tormented by the wickedness around him.
