Abraham bargained with God to save the region of Sodom and Gomorrah, but he humbly acquiesced to God's will in the end. On the other hand, Lot pleaded to save the residents of a single town, but he did it through guile and false humility. Lot was a righteous man in comparison to his contemporaries, but he should have spent more time with Abraham and less in futile attempts to save the Sodomites.
