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.

need
NEED, noun [to be in want. The primary sense is to press.]
1. Want; occasion for something; necessity; a state that requires supply or relief. It sometimes expresses urgent want; pressing exigency.
What further need have we of witnesses? Matthew 26:65.
2. Want of the means of subsistence; poverty; indigence.
I know how to abound and to suffer need Philippians 4:12.
NEED, verb transitive [ to compel] To want; to lack; to require, as supply or relief.
They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. Matthew 9:12.
NEED, verb intransitive To be wanted; to be necessary.
When we have done it, we have done all that is in our power, and all that needs. [Not used.]
NEED is often used as an auxiliary, or at least without the personal termination.
And the lender need not fear he shall be injured.
Noah Webster, An American Dictionary of the English Language (1828). A conservative base-form lookup may be used when the exact inflected KJV form is not a Webster headword.
