This is exact English-word usage from the canonical KJV token index, not a Strong's estimate.

ORIGINAL-LANGUAGE MAP

Which Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek words stand behind this KJV word?

These relationships come from exact verse + token-position mappings. We do not assume that one English spelling always equals one Strong's number. A single English token can also carry more than one source tag, so the Strong's-link total can exceed the number of English occurrences.

Dictionary data is kept visibly separate from Scripture and from lexical Strong's data.

captivity

2. Subjection to love.

3. Subjection; a state of being under control.

4. Subjection; servitude; slavery.

To lead captivity captive, in scripture, is to subdue those who have held others in slavery, or captivity Psalms 98:1.
