Proverbs 1:21 has Strong's number for "concourse" as "H1993" and it should be "H6607".

Looks correct according to Strong's concordance, and other resources.

The KJV has links to Strong's definitions (concourse<WH6607>) and the one entered for "concourse" in Psalms 1:21 is incorrect. Check my previous post and the Greek info for the the word "peh'-thakh" (פּתח).

theWord KJV.ont has this; "concourse<WH1993>" which I see is correct markup of the word according to Strong's.

She crieth<WH7121> in the chief place<WH7218> of concourse<WH1993>, in the openings<WH6607> of the gates<WH8179>: in the city<WH5892> she uttereth<WH559> her words<WH561>, <FI>saying<Fi>,

"concourse<WH1993>" H1993 is about speaking, not a gate and the Hebrew also verifies it which I posted above.

Not according to the original text: Consider that murmuring (H1993) vs entrance (H6607) being used for a concourse. The KJV added a lot of text that isn't in the original Hebrew: At the top of the walls she is calling; At the portals of the gates in the city she is speaking her words:

If I may copy from the Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament (TWOT for theWord) that links to that word:
505 הָמָה (hāmâ) cry aloud, mourn, rage, roar, sound; make noise, tumult; be clamorous, disquieted, loud, moved, troubled, in an uproar. (RSV also growl, howl, be in turmoil, moan, thrill, yearn, beat wildly, thunder, et al.; ASV similar.)
This verb is difficult to translate uniformly and the translation will vary from passage to passage and translator to translator. Thus in Isa 17:12 the KJV has “make a noise,” ASV “roar,” RSV “thunder.” Subjects include people (Ps 77:3 [H 4]), waves (Jer 5:22), cities (I Kgs 1:41), the heart (Jer 4:19), and the bowels (Song 5:4, RSV “heart was thrilled”; Jer 31:20, RSV “heart yearns”). The translation “concourse” (Prov 1:21) is inferred from the commotion.
I highlighted the last sentence.

Just some info on the word "concourse" as used in KJV. I did not know this, but it helps make sense of James Strong's markup.
