Chapter 18 begins with Abraham meeting three travelers who have shown up at his tent. It was the custom to welcome travelers the way Abraham is described as doing here. It would have been considered very rude for him not to welcome them and take care of them the way he did.
As we read this, it is understood that the guests are the Lord Himself and two angels.
