Also, if someone did know his situation, they might have surmised that the daughters were indeed in the house at that time, or been so appalled at the offer that they simply joined the mob in attacking the house to grab the angelic “spies.” Plus, the same could be said of Abram’s ruse with Sarai. Remember that Abimelech was saved from judgment because he realised that Isaac and Rebekah were an item. But overall, I think that a solution which accords with the New Testament’s appraisal of Lot is one to be favored.
