10 There were many tar pits in the Valley of Siddim, and as the defeated kings of Sodom and Gomorrah ran away, some of their men fell into them while the rest ran to the hills.

Passage themes

A ground of tar — was full of slimepits
The kings trapped — fled, and fell there
Fleeing to the heights — they that remained fled to the mountain

Notes and references

“Some of their men”: while the text seems to suggest that the kings fell into the tar pits, verse 17 makes it clear that at least the king of Sodom had not died.
