This page needs a synopsis section
[edit]I was born in 2001 and was raised an atheist. I don't know how many people reading this come from non-Western countries, but certainly in the West there are teens and young adults who don't know what this document says. The KJV is the most important work in the English language and it NEEDS a synopsis! 2603:7000:D03A:5895:F507:553F:D386:B485 (talk) 23:58, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
- I suspect the core argument against a KJV specific synopsis is that any synopsis of the Bible is inherently a synopsis of, well, the BIBLE. The only things truly necessary to spell out separate from the synopsis that appears on the page for the Bible as a work in and of itself would be the places where the KJV differs from prior translations, or errors made in the translation that further scholarship can verify. The KJV on its own doesn't warrant a separate synopsis, it's just not all that terribly distinct or unique from other Bibles. 63.149.209.2 (talk) 15:33, 20 November 2023 (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
[edit]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
[edit]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 at 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.
