Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 19:29

29 And it came to pass when God destroyed the Cities of the plain, that God remembred Abraham , and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the Cities in the which Lot dwelt.

Either 1. The promise made to Abraham Gen. 12. 3. Or 2. The prayer made by Abraham Gen. 18. who doubtless in his prayers for Sodom would not forget Lot, though his prayer for him be not there mentioned. And hereby it is insinuated, that Lot though he was a righteous man and should be saved eternally, yet deserved to perish temporally with those wicked people to whom he associated himself meerly for worldly advantages, and should have done so, if Abraham had not hindred it by his prayers.
