Exegesis
In the second clause, hoí basileîs tês gês {οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς | hoí basileîs tês gês} “the kings of the earth” functions as the nominative subject, and the present verb phérousin {φέρουσιν | phérousin} “they bring” carries a future implication in this prophetic context.
In context — Revelation 21:24
And the nations will walk by her light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into her.
