"George Wigram's Englishman's Greek and Hebrew Concordances
were produced in 1839 and 43 respectively and contain a complete
listing of all occurrences of each unique Greek and Hebrew word in
the New and Old Testaments. It was not until fifty years later that
James Strong assigned numbers to each unique word in the Old and
New Testaments and produced a dictionary listing each word with its
number. This electronic text combines Wigram's identification (of
each unique word's occurrence) and Strong's numbering system, using
Strong's numbers to mark each location where Wigram identified a
particular word. The result is a 100% accurate Strong's Concordance
imbedded within the KJV." Courtesy of the good folks at Online Bible

Since this is rather lengthy I shall have to add another post showing Matthews commentary.
