Where is lots wife

The two married daughters and their husbands remained in the doomed city, as did her two future sons-in-law Gen. When Lot and his wife were saved from the destruction of the city, she took pity on her married daughters who had remained in Sodom and looked behind her.

Two angels met Lot as he sat at the gate of Sodom and offered them lodging for the night. They finally agreed and went with Lot who fed them. That night, however, all the men of Sodom caught wind of the angels and encompassed the house of Lot. Lot responded by offering his two virgin daughters instead. The men of Sodom persisted, trying to reach the angels, who looked like men.

The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it. Lot warned his sons-in-law, but they mocked him and refused the warning. As the dawn was approaching, the angels again told Lot that judgment was immediate, and he needed to take his wife and daughters out of the city.
