:Its popularity is such that sometimes people refer to the text of the King James Version as the "original English", possibly because such people are unaware that the Bible was originally written in ], ] and ], and that there were at least three older English language translations of the Bible. One of these older editions, the ], was the Bible of choice for the ] and was brought over on the Mayflower to America. |

Isn't the KJV also sometimes referred to as the Authorised Version (at least in Britain)? That might be worth referring to somewhere in the article. I'm assuming it's because it was officially sanctioned, and for a long time was the standard translation used in the Church of England etc. ] 16:54 Apr 25, 2003 (UTC) |

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. ] (]) 04:19, 20 April 2024 (UTC) |

== The word tyrant not appearing is factually untrue == |
|
Could someone add the details of the copyright status of the KJV in Great Britain? It is mentioned that it has "special status", but I would like to know more. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
Translations that preceded the King James Version were also made from the Greek and Hebrew. I have changed some words that could be taken to mean that the KJV was the first direct translation into English. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It appears in Wisdom 8:15, 12:14 and in 2 Maccabees 4:25, 7:27. ] (]) 06:14, 20 September 2024 (UTC) |
|
It is also worth noting that the KJV is more frank than modern translations. Those who want to find out how much more frank can look up the passages for themselves! M. Glass |

: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 ] version"? Thanks. ] (]) 08:13, 20 September 2024 (UTC) |
