Exegesis
This target is expressed with the prepositional phrase epi tous basileis {ἐπὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς | epì toùs ba-si-leîs} ‘to the kings’, further defined by the genitive chain tēs oikoumenēs holēs {τῆς οἰκουμένης ὅλης | tēs oi-kou-mé-nēs hó-lēs} ‘of the whole inhabited world’, which universalizes the scope of influence.
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 .
