The King James Version of the bible was commisioned by King James of England back in the 1600's.
Between Philemon and James in the New Testament
The reign of King James came during a time of severe religious conflict in England between the Catholic and Anglican churches. Many people wanted to be able to read the Bible for themselves. Unfortunately all the bible in use at that time were written in Latin, and few people knew how to read Latin other than the priests and a few other scholars. King James ordered that the bible should be translated into English so that more people would be able to read and understand the bible.
The New king James version is more understanable...it is in word you use everyday...while the Modern king James version is in more modern words...it's uneasy to read for some people...
In the King James version no form of the word - connect - appears anywhere. connect, connecting, connection etc.
