Sodom's partner in crime — destroyed by fire from heaven
Dead SeaAn ancient city near the Dead Sea that was destroyed along with Sodom by fire and sulfur from heaven because of its extreme wickedness (Genesis 19). The two cities are almost always mentioned together as the ultimate example of divine judgment. Jesus, Peter, Jude, and the prophets all reference Sodom and Gomorrah as a warning of what happens when sin goes unchecked.
Genesis
The Rescue and the Two Kings
Gomorrah joins Sodom in the act of rebellion that starts the conflict, with its king Birsha among the five who refused to keep paying — drawing Chedorlaomer's army back into the region.
Genesis
The Night Everything Burned
Gomorrah is destroyed alongside Sodom as its partner in wickedness, both cities and the entire surrounding valley reduced to ash in the same catastrophic judgment.
Genesis
The Family Tree That Built the World
Gomorrah appears alongside Sodom as a boundary marker in Canaanite territory — its casual mention in a geographic description contrasting sharply with the devastating fire-from-heaven story that awaits it just a few chapters later.
Isaiah
The Opening Accusation
Gomorrah is paired with Sodom here to address the general population of Judah — the double comparison intensifies the indictment, targeting both rulers and people with the same devastating label.
Isaiah
The Day Babylon's Lights Went Out
Gomorrah appears alongside Sodom as the paired symbol of complete annihilation — together they represent the most absolute form of divine judgment, the standard God says Babylon will meet.
