Meaning of Numbers: The Number 106
The English phrase "hundred and six," used for the number 106, is not in the King James Bible.
The possible meaning of the number 106 is derived from the appearance of certain words in Scripture.
The first Hebrew word defined by Strong's Concordance is ab (Strong's #H1). It is utilized to designate a father in a literal or figurative sense. Its first two uses in the King James Version of 1Chronicles, where it is recorded 106 times in 87 verses, is in chapter two.
And Abigail bare Amasa: and the father (ab) of Amasa was Jether the Ishmeelite.
And afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of Machir the father (ab) of Gilead, whom he married when he was threescore (60) years old; and she bare him Segub (1Chronicles 2:17, 21, KJV).
The English word "Lord" is written 106 times in 97 verses of the King James translation of the gospel of Luke. The word, amazingly, is recorded 17 times alone in Luke 1 (verses 6, 9, 11, 15 - 17, 25, 28, 32, 38, 45 - 46, 58, 66, 68 and 76) and 12 times in the second chapter!
And they (Zacharias and Elizabeth, the parents of John the Baptist) were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless (Luke 1:6, KJV).
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid (Luke 2:9, KJV).
Appearances of Number One Hundred Six
The English word "alone" appears 108 times in 106 King James Bible verses. It is written the most in both Job and John (11 times each) followed by Isaiah (9). Its first recorded use takes place when, after God created man, he determined his greatest creation needed a helper.
And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him . . . And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man (Genesis 2:18, 22, KJV).
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me (John 8:16, KJV).
The Hebrew word halak, Strong's #H1980, appears 122 times in 106 verses of the original language version of 1Kings. The word means to walk, to come, to go or to travel from one place to another. Its first two uses are related to Nathan the prophet and Bathsheba's plan to thwart David's son Adonijah usurping Israel's throne which David had promised to Solomon (1Kings 1:13).
Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?
Now therefore come (halak), let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.
Go (halak) and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign? (1Kings 1:11 - 13, KJV).
The English word "God" appears in 106 verses in the New Testament's seven general epistles (James, 1 and 2Peter, 1, 2, and 3John, Jude) found in the King James Bible. The word is recorded in the first verse of both the book of James and 2Peter.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting (James 1:1, KJV).
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ (2Peter 1:1, KJV).
Number 106 and the Psalms
Psalm 106, as well as seventeen other songs (Psalms 105, 107, 111 to 118, 135, 136 and 146 to 150), are called the Hallelujah Psalms. They were sung at the temple in Jerusalem and in synagogues, and were specially used during God's annual Feast days.
Psalm 106 ends the fourth of the five common divisions of the book of Psalms. These divisions are Psalm 1 to 41, 42 to 72, 73 to 89, 90 to 106 and 107 to 150.
Verse 22 of this Psalm confirms that Ham, the youngest son of Noah, migrated to Egypt. It was him and his descendants that populated the country.
They (ancient Israelites) forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt, wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea (verses 21 - 22 of Psalm 106, HBFV).
Feast of Unleavened Bread
Definition 106 in the Greek section of Strong's Concordance is the word azumos. The word occurs nine times in nine New Testament verses. It is recorded twice in the books of Mark, Luke, Acts and 1Corinthians. It is also written once in the gospel of Matthew.
Azumos is translated as "unleavened bread" or "unleavened" in the King James New Testament. Its use proves the yearly seven day Feast of Unleavened Bread, commanded by God in the Old Testament, should continue to be kept by true Christians.
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread (azumos).) (Acts 12;3, KJV).
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened (azumos). For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
Therefore LET US KEEP THE FEAST, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened (azumos) bread of sincerity and truth (1Corinthians 5:7 - 8, KJV).

The English word "devils" is found in only four places in the King James Old Testament. Two of these locations, Leviticus 17:7 and 2Chronicles 11:15, derive this word from the Hebrew saiyr (Strong's #H8163).
The Hebrew word saiyr refers to a he goat or a creature who is hairy and rough (with illusions to the mythical beast called a satyr). The word "devils," however, in Deuteronomy 32:17 and the 37th verse of Psalm 106 come from the Hebrew daemon (Strong's #H7700) meaning a malignant spirit or demon.
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils (daemon, verse 37 of Psalm 106, KJV).
