2.

Radak citing Targum Yonasan: My word will distance you like Hashem distanced Sedom, Amorah and its neighbors.

What are the others? Devarim 29:22 mentions only these four. Rashi (Bereishis 18:24, 19:21) says that Hashem planned to destroy five cities, but He saved one (Tzo'ar) due to Lot's Tefilah! (PF)
