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.

reward
REWARD', verb transitive a as aw. [[Latin re, denoting return.]
To give in return, either good or evil.
Thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil. 1 Samuel 24:19.
Hence, when good is returned for good, reward signifies to repay, to recompense, to compensate. When evil or suffering is return for injury or wickedness, reward signifies to punish with just retribution, to take vengeance on, according to the nature of the case.
I will render vengeance to my enemies; and will reward them that hate me. Deuteronomy 32:41.
The Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Matthew 16:27.
In the latter passage, reward signifies to render with good and evil.
REWARD', noun
1. Recompense, or equivalent return for good done, for kindness, for services and the like. Rewards may consist of money, goods or any return of kindness or happiness.
The laborer is worthy of his reward 1 Timothy 5:18.
Great is your reward in heaven. Matthew 5:12.
REWARDs and punishments presuppose moral agency, and something voluntarily done, well or ill; without which respect, though we may receive good, it is only a benefit and not a reward
2. The fruit of men's labor or works.
The dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward Ecclesiastes 9:5.
3. A bribe; a gift to pervert justice. Deuteronomy 27:25.
4. A sum of money offered for taking or detecting a criminal, or for recovery of any thing lost.
5. Punishment; a just return of evil or suffering for wickedness.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Psalms 91:8.
6. Return in human applause. Mat 6.
7. Return in joy and comfort. Psalms 19:11.
