Exegesis
The infinitive akouein {ἀκούειν | akoúein} governs two accusives—polemous {πολέμους | polémous} and akoas polemōn {ἀκοὰς πολέμων | akoâs polemō̂n}—establishing a parallel between direct warfare and its reported disturbances.
In context — Matthew 24:6
You are on the verge of hearing of wars and reports of conflict; ensure you are not dismayed , for it is necessary that these matters should come about, but the end is not yet.
