Read in context →And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Read in context →24 occurrences in 23 verses.
Browse those occurrences →This is exact English-word usage from the canonical KJV token index, not a Strong's estimate.
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.
