وَالْبَنِينَ and the children
The 'and' ties this onto the previous list item and, being a coordinating link, keeps it in the same genitive case forced by the earlier 'from'. So the ending matches the noun it is joined to, showing Arabic carries case agreement across items joined by 'and'.

وَالْبَنِينَ and the boys
