As their starting point in English or as their English foundation, the KJV translators were given copies of the 1602 edition of the Bishops' Bible.
David Norton wrote: “The 1602 Bishops’ Bible frequently differs from the original 1568 text, so much so that in parts such as the Psalms it ought to be thought of as a new version” (Textual History of the KJB, p. 35).
