Who are “the rest”?

Revelation 19:21 (ESV)

21 And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

This is a reference to “the kings of the earth with their armies” as mentioned in Revelation 19:19, those who will make up the menu for the great supper God is preparing for the birds.
