בארת בארת חמר. בארות הרבה היו שם, שנוטלים משם אדמה לטיט של בנין (ב"ר). ומדרש אגדה (שם), שהיה הטיט מוגבל (מגובל) בהם, ונעשה נס למלך סדום שיצא משם, לפי שהיו באומות מקצתן שלא היו מאמינין שניצול אברהם מאור כשדים מכבשן האש, וכיון שיצא זה מן החמר האמינו באברהם למפרע (ב"ר מב, ז):
הרה נסו. להר נסו, הרה כמו להר, כל תיבה שצריכה למ"ד בתחלתה הטיל לה ה"א בסופה (יבמות יג:). ויש חילוק בין הרה לההרה שה"א שבסוף התיבה עומדת במקום למ"ד שבראשה, אבל (ס"א זו) אינה עומדת במקום למ"ד, ונקודה (ס"א לנקוד) פתח תחתיה, והרי הרה כמו להר, או כמו אל הר, ואינו מפרש לאיזה הר, אלא שכל אחד נָס באשר מצא הר תחלה. וכשהוא נותן ה"א בראשה לכתוב ההרהאו המדברה, פתרונו כמו אל ההר או כמו לההר (להר), ומשמע לאותו הר הידוע ומפורש בפרשה:

Ramban (Nachmanides)
English
‘BE’EROTH BE’EROTH CHEIMAR’ (FULL OF SLIME PITS). There were many pits there since they removed earth to be used as clay for building purposes. The Midrashic explanation is that the clay was closely kneaded together in them, [that is, it was very sticky], but a miracle happened to the king of Sodom and he escaped from there. This miracle occurred because there were some among the nations who did not believe that Abram had been delivered from the fiery furnace, but as soon as this one escaped from the slime, in retrospect they believed in Abram. Thus the language of Rashi.
There is no doubt that the meaning of be’eroth cheimar is “pits containing mud and slime,” even as it is written, And in the pit there was no water, but mire, and Jeremiah sank in the mire, and it is further written, He brought me up out of the tumultuous pit, out of the miry clay. And it is possible that the king of Sodom went out from there naturally, without a miracle.
And I wonder concerning the above Midrashic explanation, for those nations that did not believe that the Holy One, blessed be He, had performed a miracle for Abraham would not have their faith in the Holy One, blessed be He, augmented by witnessing the miracle which befell the king of Sodom. The king of Sodom was an idol worshipper, and his miracle would either strengthen the hands of the idol worshippers or it would cause them to believe that all miracles are done by witchcraft or are due to some remotely possible chance. His miracle would thus cast doubt into the hearts of those who believed in Abraham’s miracle! Perhaps [the Rabbis who authored this Midrashic explanation] will interpret the verse, And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, as implying that “he went out” from the pit when Abraham passed by for it was in honor of Abraham that a miracle was done to him so that he could go forth to meet him in order to honor and bless Abraham.
And it is possible that Abraham, upon his return, looked into that pit for he wanted to save the kings and return their wealth to them, and then the miracle happened on his account. Now if a miracle was done to the king of Sodom in honor of Abraham, the nations could now believe all the more that a miracle would be done to Abraham himself in order to rescue him from death.
We must further say that the king of Gomorrah had already died when Abraham passed him by or that he had fallen into another pit, as the word “there” The word “there” does not refer to the pit, in which case it would then imply that all five kings fell into one pit. Rather it refers to ‘the vale’ of Siddim. Thus the king of Gomorrah fell into a different pit, near which Abraham did not pass. refers to “the vale.”

וינוסו מלך סדום, this made it plain that Avram could not rely on them that they would help him.

Radak (David Kimhi)
English
ועמק השדים בארות בארות חמר, the vowel pattern of the construct mode of the word בארות in our verse is different from the ordinary plural mode of the same word in Genesis 26,18 where it also appears in the construct mode, i.e. בארות המים, “the wells of water.”
The word חמר is equivalent to what we know as טיט, (11,3) where it means mortar. It is unbaked clay, binding bricks together, loam.
וינסו מלך סדום ועמורה, the other kings fled toward the mountains, as we are told והנשארים הרה נסו. “those remaining fled towards the mountain.” The letter ה at the end of the word הרה is equivalent to the prefix ל.
