Nothing good came from it, the Moabites and ammonites were enemies of Isreal
Genesis 19:30-38 (KJV)
And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. [31] And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: [32] Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. [33] And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. [34] And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. [35] And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. [36] Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. [37] And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day. [38] And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

Why, do you have daughters? Think twice about telling him if you do.

Genesis 19:30-38. This was because Lot's wife was dead and his daughters wanted his line to continue.

That is one of the great pieces of psychological warfare/propaganda in all of history. The resulting children are namesakes of a vulgar and insulting type. From them the names of Israel's enemies evolved.
Incest is considered a grave taboo in the Bible. The story of Lot enabled the people of Israel to snear everytime they mentioned their enemies, akin to calling Al Qaida something like All Bastards. The story is in Genesis.
