Exegesis
The aorist infinitive sunagagein {συναγαγεῖν | sy-na-ga-geîn} ‘to gather together’ expresses purpose, with autous {αὐτοὺς | au-toùs} ‘them’ referring back to the kings as the ones being assembled.
In context — Revelation 16:14
For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited world, to gather them for the battle of the great day of God the Almighty .
