I saw.
Rev. 13:1‑10• 1And I stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.
 2And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet as a bear's, and his mouth as a lion's mouth; and the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.
 3And {i}I saw{/i} one of his heads as slain unto death; and his deadly wound was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast.
 4And they worshipped the dragon, because he gave the authority to the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who {i}is{/i} like the beast? and who is able to make war with him?
 5And there was given him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemy; and there was given him authority to work forty-two months.
 6And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle [and] those that tabernacle in the heaven.
 7And it was given him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and there was given him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
 8And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, of whom the name is not written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain, from {i}the{/i} world's foundation.
 9If Anyone hath an ear, let him hear.
 10If Anyone {i}is{/i} for captivity, into captivity he goeth; if Anyone will kill with sword, with sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. (Rev. 13:1‑10)

;
Rev. 17:12‑14• 12And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings which have not yet received a kingdom; but they receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.
 13These have one mind and give their power and authority to the beast.
 14These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them (for he is Lord of lords and King of kings), and those that are with him, called and chosen and faithful. (Rev. 17:12‑14)

Rev. 19:11‑14• 11And I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
 12His eyes {i}were{/i} [as] a flame of fire, and upon his head {i}were{/i} many diadems; he had [names written and] a name written which no one knoweth but he himself;
 13and he {i}was{/i} clothed with a garment dyed with blood: and his name is called THE WORD OF GOD.
 14And the armies that are in the heaven followed him upon white horses, clad in white pure fine linen. (Rev. 19:11‑14)
• Human thoughts under the inspiration of Satan were governing the objects of the assemblage of this vast army; but God, working behind the scenes, had His thoughts; and hence it is that the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies are described as being gathered together to make war against the King of kings, and Lord of lords, and His “called, and chosen, and faithful” followers. What daring audacity! And what a display of the corrupt depths of man’s heart, rivaled only by what was seen in the crucifixion of Christ! (article #56779)
• Firstly, the Roman empire in its eighth head, the chief of the last form of the beast at the time of the Gentiles. Secondly. This chief does his own will, and will establish his throne at Jerusalem. Thirdly. He is the wicked one; iniquity has reached to the full. The false prophet is the second beast in chapter 13, which had horns like the lamb and spoke like the dragon. (“Notes on Revelation 19:11-21” by J.N. Darby)
• The kings of the earth will include, if there are other sovereigns also, the monarchs of the ten kingdoms, who will be confederated under the leadership of the beast. (See Rev. 17:11-18.) We can therefore at once understand what a huge host will be brought together by the beast and his vassal kings, a host seemingly invincible; and the object of the assembling of which must be connected with the Holy Land, as it is there they are found when Christ comes forth from heaven. (“Notes on Revelation 19:11-21” by J.N. Darby)

The Greek article should be heeded before "war," "the" or "their" war, though the T. R. after Erasmus and the Complutensian edition is not without support.
