AnswerThere was never any suggestion that the translators of the King James Bible were inspired by the Holy Spirit. King James gave them quite specific instructions on how to go about their task, including that their work should be consistent with the existing Bishop's Bible as much as practicable. They followed these instructions to produce one of the most important religious works in English literature, but this was a clearly human endeavour.
