Will the judge of all the earth not do justice?

Abraham asks for 50 to save Sodom and the periphery.
45.
40.
30.
20.
10.
It doesn’t go. Abraham falls silent. God goes and the decree is carried out.
 
But the argument that it would be as righteous as it was wicked, to kill a righteous man with a wicked man, was not resolved.
If there are 2 righteous people in Sodom or 1, why will they be killed?
In the Bible, perhaps the Korah means that it is okay if fewer than 10 righteous people die?

We have already discussed this a lot. Woe to the wicked and woe to his neighbor. Some have explained that the righteous are guilty for not stopping the wicked or for continuing to live there. There are also those who say that when permission is given to destroy, he does not distinguish between righteous and wicked, but this is very unlikely in relation to the action of God Himself.

The righteous man who was found - Lot the son of a stone - was saved. All the people of Sodom except him, from young to old, as emphasized in the Torah, surrounded the house.
