# Gomorrah # ## Facts: ## Gomorrah was a city located in a fertile valley near Sodom, where Abraham's nephew Lot chose to live. * The exact location of Gomorrah and Sodom is unknown, but there are indications that they may have been located directly south of the Salt Sea, near the Valley of Siddim. * There were many kings at war in the region where Sodom and Gomorrah were located. * When Lot's family was captured in a conflict between Sodom and other cities, Abraham and his men rescued them. * Not long after that, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by God because of the wickedness of the people who lived there.
