Exegesis
The finite verb eporneusan {ἐπόρνευσαν | epórneusan} 'they committed sexual immorality' takes as its subject hoi basileis {οἱ βασιλεῖς | hoi basileîs} 'the kings', further specified by the genitive phrase tēs gēs {τῆς γῆς | tēs gēs} 'of the earth', indicating that the rulers in view are worldwide rather than local.
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.
