Wow...that's interesting...I hadn't noticed that until you just brought that up...you didn't actually say that your 8 y/o was your daughter and you've never mentioned to me that you have a daughter. Hmmm...lol...I guess that it was perceptive. *eyes wide*

I can't explain that one any better than the star! Chalk another one up to the His Spirit? Who knows. He knows.

What led you search this Strong's number (4043)? I found 63 uses of the word "megan" in the OT. To which 4 verses are you referring?

Also, are you using a Bible search program, or are you using a Strongs cross reference book, which lists the usage of various words? Which ones?

I have several search programs for various needs, but I primarily use God's Word for Windows. Download available here. Unless they changed the program, it won't cease to function after "x" days. Honor system. The CD is only $25.

But back to your inquiry. A search of those two words returns:

2 Samuel 22:3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield [4043], and the horn of my salvation [3468], my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour [3467]; thou savest [3467]me from violence.

2 Samuel 22:36 Thou hast also given me the shield [4043] of thy salvation [3468]: and thy gentleness hath made me great.

Psalms 18:2 The LORD [3068] is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler [4043], and the horn of my salvation [3468], and my high tower.

Psalms 18:35 Thou hast also given me the shield [4043] of thy salvation [3468]: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
