Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Angels went to Ibrahim and then to Lut, may peace be upon them bothWhen Lut, peace be upon him, asked Allah to help him against them, Allah sent angels to help him. They first came to Ibrahim in the form of guests, so he offered them hospitality in the appropriate manner. When he saw that they had no interest in the food, he felt some mistrust of them and was fearful of them.
