Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis polemon {εἰς πόλεμον | eis pó-le-mon} expresses purpose or goal, “for war,” clarifying what the preparation would be aimed toward. In English, the conditional and interrogative structure is preserved, while the word order is slightly adjusted to typical subject–verb–object sequence for clarity and readability.
