Ibn Ezra on Genesis 14:12/אבן עזרא על בראשית י״ד:י״ב

אוהוא יושב. והוא היה ביום ההוא יושב בסדום,
1WHO DWELT IN SODOM. Lot was dwelling in Sodom on that day.22 (dwelt; literally, dwells) is in the present when all the verbs pertaining to this incident are in the past. I.E.’s point is that “dwelling” is to be understood as: was dwelling.
