King James Banned What Word?
Did you know that there's a word that King James didn't want in his translation of the Bible? This word did appear dozens of times in the Geneva Bible, which was a popular English translation of the Bible in the 16th century. However, when King James came to the throne, he and his supporters believed that this word could be used to criticize the monarchy, which they saw as divinely ordained. Therefore, when King James commissioned his own translation of the Bible, the King James Version, he instructed his translators to to use a different word.
