Exegesis

Direct speech opens with hoi basileis ton ethnon {Οἱ βασιλεῖς τῶν ἐθνῶν | hoi ba-si-leîs tôn eth-nôn} ‘the kings of the nations’, with ton ethnon marking Gentile realms.

The conjunction kai introduces hoi exousiazontes auton {οἱ ἐξουσιάζοντες αὐτῶν | hoi ex-ou-si-á-zon-tes au-tôn} ‘those exercising authority over them’, where the participle exousiazontes functions substantively.
