KJV

In 1534 Henry VIII rejected Catholicism, turned his kingdom Protestant was declared head of the new Church of England by parliament and had the folks who opposed him killed as heretics and traitors. His daughter, Queen Mary made England catholic again and had Protestants burned at the stake. Then Queen Elizabeth turned it Protestant and had Catholics who opposed her---including her cousin, Mary Queen of Scotts, executed. Her successor was her son King James who became king at age thirteen.

James was Protestant but moved the Church of England closer to Catholicism upsetting the Puritans. In 1604 James believed the existing English Bibles did not sufficiently emphasize obedience to authority ordered a new translation that became known as the King James Bible satisfied him on that point.

Apparently the KJV emphasizes obedience to authority more than earlier versions. At the time there was conflict over the relationship of government to religion.
