Well, then its a good thing they didn't.
KJV "But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:"
NIV "Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of SodomÂboth young and old"
RSV "But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man "
Unless you take "men" to mean the generic "mankind" ( inclusive of Wimmins and Chilluns [ which, AFAIK, ] nobody does, ) then we're talking about adult males; both old men and young men.
Again, no mention of children; girl-children or boy-children.
But heck, if we're gonna see things which just ain't there; I'd rather picture THEM ALL as children. Why limit ourselves?
