Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kai} 'and' introduces a second clause with a new subject, hoi katoikountes {οἱ κατοικοῦντες | hoi katoikoûntes} 'the ones dwelling', clarified by the object tēn gēn {τὴν γῆν | tēn gēn} 'the earth', giving the sense of earth-dwellers in general.
In context — Revelation 17:2
With whom the kings of the earth had sexual immorality , and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk from the wine of her sexual immorality.
