It could be all in just which thrones, are being spoken of here ?.

 

It was probably translated that way out of consistancy.

Suggestions:
Look at these verse in the older translations and see how they translated the word.

Find the who was on the translating team of the KJV in this section and assess their education and abilities in Aramaic [I'd guess it wasn't highly skilled].

Actually, the KJV benefited from Aramaic scholarship unavailable in the previous attempts.

"By the 1560s, the basic philological tools for Aramaic study had been forged" ---Stephen G. Burnett, "Christian Aramaism: The Birth and Growth of Aramaic Scholarship in the Sixteenth Century"

"Johannes Immanuel Tremellius (1510-1580), who converted to Christianity from Judaism before 1540, converted to Protestantism, and served as professor of Old Testament at Heidelberg and Sedan....his Latin Old Testament (1575-1579), based on Hebrew, Aramaic and Syriac texts, became the standard Reformed version. He also published an Aramaic and Syriac grammar (1569)." Historical Handbook of Major Biblical Interpreters, p. 142

Tremellius: solia abiecta "thrown away"
cf. Vulgate: throni positi

Perhaps we're expected to have to get an old dictionary out to find out that "cast down" actually meant "set up" at one time in ancient history.

 

In 2009 Role Playing Gamers still 'cast down' dice to 'set up' playing characters.
