As the King James Bible was translated in 1611 it uses dated/confusing language and expressions.
E.g. The word let means to stop in the KJV. Today it means to allow. The word shambles means a mess today, back then it meant a meat market. Any subject you study you would use modern up to date notes/texts to assist you. The New world Translation has Gods name Jehovah restored in it over 7,000 times where it had been removed. The KJV has Jehovah in it just 4 times. E.g. Psalms 83:18. The NEW KJB interestingly has restored the name Jehovah around 7,000 times. The NWT is a literal word for word translation. It has been highly acclaimed among scholars of translations
in recent years for its accuracy.
