The term does not appear in the New King James Version and only 7 times (either alone or with another term) in the King James.
According to Webster's Dictionary, "Jehovah" is, "an erroneous rendering of the ineffable [inexpressible] name JHVH [or YHVH or YHWH] in the Hebrew scriptures." Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary adds:
"The divine name Yahweh is usually translated Lord in English versions of the Bible, because it became a practice in late Old Testament Judaism not to pronounce the sacred name YHWH, but to say instead 'my Lord' (Adonai)-a practice still used today in the synagogue. When the vowels of Adonai were attached to the consonants YHWH in the medieval period, the word Jehovah resulted."

Was Jehovah word taking out King James bible?
The King James Version is an English translation of the bible which indeed has transliterated the tetragrammaton YHWH (the divine name) as "Jehovah" in English four times, notably at Ex.6:3, Ps.83:18, Is.12:2 and Isaiah 26v4. Although the tetragrammaton appeals in the original text about 7000 times, no KJV has had the name in more than the above mentioned four passages. Therefore it would be inaccurate to say that the name (Jehovah) has ever been "taken out of the King James bible". It would be tecnically more accurate to say that the tetragrammaton has been inconsistently transliterated.**The original texts of the bible were written not in English but in the Hebrew language. English words (eg "Jehovah" "Jesus", "Jerusalem"...) first appeared in English translations of the texts. Some translations, including the King James Version, have been revised.The proper name of the old testament god - Jehovah - does not occur anywhere in the Hebrew scriptures. Orthodox Jews of the old period would have considered it blasphemous to directly name the Lord of Hosts. So the name Jehovah was not taken out of any bible - because it was never there in the first place. (Though the term Jehovah in fact does occur in the Authorised Version). The origins of the term Jehovah - which probably never existed in biblical times - are interesting in themselves. I have given you a link to the basic scholarship on the issue, but a more radical reading of who we really mean when we call on Jehovah can be found in Robert Graves' The White Goddess.Though that book is not suitable reading for children or those of a nervous disposition.
Who took Jehovah's name out of the Bible?
The word Jehovah is contained four times in the KJV of the bible. It was never taken out.The original Hebrew text contains the name Jehovah (Hebrew consonants for YHWH) more than 7000 times, so yes, it was taken out. Translators chose to remove it from the Bible to honour the Jewish tradition which held that the devine name was too sacred to be pronounced.According to The New World Translation, printed by Jehovah's Witnesses, reference Bible page 1564 it says, ''Sometime during the second or third century C.E. the scribes removed the Tetragrammaton from both the Septuagint and the Christian Greek Scriptures and replaced it with Ky′ri‧os, "Lord" or The‧os′, "God."

What text is can you find the name jehova in the kings James bible?

An overwhelming majority of ancient Hebrew and Biblical scholars believe the name "Yahweh" to be a more accurate English rendering of the name of God.YHWH or Yahweh, sometimes falsely translated as Jehovah, is found nearly 7000 times in the Bible. In most English Bible translations, it is translated as "LORD"(in all caps). Some Bible translations, like the Holman Christian Standard Bible, use the name Yahweh in passages that directly identify YHWH or Yahweh as God's name.
