A coalition of kings makes war on other kings, and Lot gets caught in the crossfire. The passage shows the large political dynamics that impact individuals.
Lot's capture isn't a personal crime against him. It's collateral damage in larger geopolitical conflict. That's how the world works - personal suffering is often entangled with larger systems.
When I work with trauma survivors, sometimes their suffering connects to larger systems (war, colonialism, systemic oppression). This passage validates that reality.
