The King James Version of the Bible, first published in 1611, has had a profound impact on English literature as a whole. The works of famous authors such as John Bunyan, John Milton, Herman Melville, John Dryden, and William Wordsworth are replete with inspiration derived from the King James Version.

The New Testament of the King James Version was translated from the Received Text (Textus Receptus), called so because the majority of extant texts of the time were in agreement with it. The Old Testament of the King James Version is translated from the Ben Chayyim Masoretic Hebrew Text. (Abraham Ben Chayyim was a Masoretic scribe and a former Jewish Rabbi who converted to Christianity.)

Modern English Bibles such as the New American Standard Bible and the English Standard Version derive their authority from a completely different set of N.T. manuscripts (earlier Egyptian Minority Texts as opposed to the later Byzantine Majority Texts).
