King James

Who was king James? 154.117.139.26 (talk) 19:20, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Reading the first 3 lines of the article is too hard? Johnbod (talk) 02:18, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

I want to get Community Consensus to add a link to an online copy of the King James Version

Here's the link: https://webchannel.purebiblesearch.com/ It has audio bibles, and the pure text of the KJV. I'd also like to recommend https://thekjvstore.com/ as a place for buying KJV bibles, if the person of their own freewill so desires. The links are fine and everything is ok. It's just a suggestion. 190.141.81.136 (talk) 04:19, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

The word tyrant not appearing is factually untrue

The word tyrant does appear in the KJV when the apocrypha version is used which is true for the 1611 version of the KJV and the apocrypha was formally removed from the KJV in 1885.

It appears in Wisdom 8:15, 12:14 and in 2 Maccabees 4:25, 7:27. 2601:5CF:8081:2ED0:F5FD:6F48:3F29:D151 (talk) 06:14, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Yes, that's correct, the word appears in least at those four places. Is a footnote needed, or just a re-word of the text to something like: ".. the word tyrant does not appear once in the main KJV and appears only four times in the Apocrypha version"? Thanks.
