    It seems that some KJV-only advocates seek to build up the editing in the 1769 Oxford edition of the KJV. Were all the apostrophes in the 1769 Oxford edition placed correctly? David Norton maintained that many present KJV editions have “nine singular possessives that should be plural, seven inherited from Parris, two from Blayney, and another six plural that should be singular from Blayney” (Textual History of the KJB, p. 109). Do all other KJV editions agree with the editing decisions in the 1769 Oxford?

    Here are a few examples for consideration:
