best KJV bible?

whitch KJV bible is the best? or witch one do you recomend and why? i want one whit good references...i dont want so many notes and commentarys, i just want a good reference bible,
is there a difference from for example nelson reference and thompson and the others? or is it the same?

i got the stong and vine concordence so i thought id get a good KJV, there are so many preachers now saying that the word "really" translates like this or that , so best thing to chech it out for one self,

Here is the Bible I use.

http://www.amgpublishers.com/www/docs/129/keyword-kjv/

It does have some commentary. There is some that I don't agree with. The main reason I like this Bible is that is has a complete strongs dictionary in the back. It also has lexical aids. Only certain "keywords" are included. Also, is shows the tenses of "key" verbs.

Here is what the website says:

System of Study

Key Words in the English Text Identified by James Strong's Numbering System

Codes in the New Testament Text Identify Grammatical Structure of Key Greek Words

Notations Explain the Significance of the Grammatical Codes

Hi hmmmhmmm...

I use several varieties of the KJV. My favorites include:

[b]Thompson Chain Reference[/b] - Many good references and study helps are included.

[b]Dake Annotated Reference Bible[/b] - Although I don't agree with EVERYTHING that Finis Dake includes, there is a plethora of information and links available.

[b]Concord Reference Bible[/b] - A simple but well-made Bible.

I also have a nice hardcover version of the Gideon KJV Bible. I purchased it at a garage sale. It is old, but it is remarkably well made. I like the way that it sits on my desk while studying.

I also own a [url=http://www.amazon.com/Holy-Bible-King-James-Version/dp/1565631609/ref=cm_lm_fullview_prod_9/102-3566272-8723367]1611 Edition of the KJV[/url]. The current KJV was finished around 1850, and went through several revisions. This one includes original spelling (along with the mistakes made by the translators). It also includes the original Preface that contains the translators' explanation to the reader. It sits well on the desk, and it is a fascimile version of the original. It is nice to read, even if the words are sometimes spelled differently than today's KJV.

My companion over 25 years has been the Cambridge Turquoise 8vo refs, India paper. The [url=http://www.cambridge.org/uk/bibles/kjv/presref.htm]current equivalent[/url] is the same size but apparently with a different font. I LOVE this Bible. Get one that is has a good clear text. Even though young eyes will read tiny script the larger versions are more conducive to contemplation.

For study the Newberry Reference Bible. KJV with marginal notes on significant original languages and with unique method of identifying verb tenses and grammar cases. There are several versions available but if possible go for the version with a single central column text with margins on each side, published by Penfold. The Kregel version is not so comprehensive. There is a picture already on the site [url=https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&order=0&topic_id=175&forum=36&post_id=&refresh=Go]here.[/url] Find the third posting in the thread and click to expand the image.

I wasn't really in the market for a new bible but coming across this is causing a bit of excitement ... For you brother!

Beyond that just for a refreshing KJV post on it's own ... You all got me thinking though.

well ive heard the KJV is the best one according to many ;)

Dake Annotated Reference Bible - Although I don't agree with EVERYTHING that Finis Dake includes, there is a plethora of information and links available.

Good, because there is much in the notes of this Bible that are aberrant.

I used a Thompson Chain through my early Christian years and it can certainly be a great help to getting a foundation of biblical understanding. The 'chains' are much less obtrusive than Scofield notes and you can ignore them or use them as the mood requires.

I have to agree the Thompson Chain. I have had one for over thirty years and it has enabled me to research almost anything. My personal preference is the King James.

Dear Ormly,

Thanks, I will check it out.

Hello...

After seriously thinking this over, I have to agree with the Thompson Chain Reference. I probably use this one for study more than anything else -- including computer software.

I actually own both the KJV and the NIV versions of the Thompson. As a person who holds both versions in high regards, I feel that it is quite interesting and educational to refer to both.

I actually impress friends to obtain a Thompson Chain Reference whenever possible. Sadly, they are quite expensive. Ever so often, you can find a new one for a decent price on websites like Half.com or Amazon.com.
