Exegesis
A second infinitive, synagagein {συναγαγεῖν | sy-na-ga-geîn}, coordinated conceptually with planēsai, expresses the further purpose “to gather,” with autous {αὐτούς | au-toús} as its object and the prepositional phrase eis ton polemon {εἰς τὸν πόλεμον | eis tón pó-le-mon} indicating purpose or result, “for the war.”
In context — Revelation 20:8
And he will go out to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for war; their number is like the sand of the sea.
