Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 18:24

24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the City , wilt thou also destroy, and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

(i. e.) in the Cities concerned as appears by ver. 20. & 19. 25. The singular number for the plural as is frequent, as Gen. 3. 2. 1 Chron. 10. 1. compared with 1 Sam. 31. 1. and oft elsewhere. Or, the City S[illegible: 1+ letters]om alone is mentioned but the rest are comprehended under it, either because of its eminency, or because they were subject or subordinate to it, as may seem probable from the History, Gen. 14.
