Exegesis
The narrative then uses a sequence of wayyiqtol verbs: vayanusu {וַיָּנֻ֛סוּ | way-yā-nu-sû} ‘and they fled’ applies to the compound subject melekh-sedom vaamorah {מֶֽלֶךְ־סְדֹ֥ם וַעֲמֹרָ֖ה | me-leḵ sə-ḏōm wa-ʿă-mō-rāh} ‘kings of Sodom and Gomorrah.’
In context — Genesis 14:10
Now the valley of Siddim had many pits of bitumen; when the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some fell in there, and the rest fled to the hill country.
