    Good study Bible; they're a little hard to come by. I have a digital version which was a free download. Also, can be read online. Text is KJV, if I remember correctly. Bullinger's Appendices in it are wonderful. I aspire to have one someday.

    The text of the Companion Bible is the KJV, but it does differ a little from many other present KJV editions. One difference is explained in one of the appendixes.

    In Appendix 32 in The Companion Bible, it is stated: “Out of extreme (but mistaken) reverence for the ineffable Name ‘Jehovah,’ the ancient custodians of the Sacred Text substituted in many places ‘Adonai’” (p. 31). This appendix in The Companion Bible listed “The 134 passages where the Sopherim altered ‘Jehovah’ to ‘Adonai’” and noted that these 134 passages were preserved and given in the Massorah. The Companion Bible has “LORD” in its KJV text in all of these 134 passages, and a number of other KJV editions do in a good number of them. The 1611 KJV and all KJV editions have "LORD" in a few of the verses listed so there may be variation in the printed Hebrew texts in a few of the passages. The 1769 Oxford edition of the KJV has "LORD" [along with several editions based on it up to the 1829 Oxford] in around 85 of these passages where many present KJV editions do not.

    The Companion Bible also sometimes capitalizes "Holy" in "Holy Spirit" in agreement with some 1700's Oxford and Cambridge editions and in agreement with present American Bible Society editions, and it also put "MOST HIGH" in all capitals.
