The KJV renders 22 different Hebrew and Greek words as “strong”

What it means

to gather grapes; also to be isolated (i.e. inaccessible by height or fortification)

a primitive root; to clip off; specifically (as denominative from H1210 (בָּצִיר))

How the KJV renders it

cut off, defenced, fortify, gather, mighty things, restrain, strong, wall, withhold

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
