Bible Discussion Thread

I'm confused. Why do you attribute Ecclesiastes 25 to the King James Version of the Bible? The KJV ends at Chapter 12. I have not been able to find any printing of the KJV that contains chapters of Ecclesiastes beyond twelve. Where have these additional chapters come from? (The same is true, by the way, of Psalm 23. Some internet sites include verses 7 through ten.) Please help me understand.

Then just looking at what came to mind on Psalms 23. In that one version, DRA 1899 version, Psalms 23 is Psalms 24 in most, or all, other Bibles. And Psalms 22 is Psalms 23 in most, or all, other Bibles. As I won't spend the time finding where that one off number started from in that version. Good note on seeing the differences though.

God Bless.

Hello Bruce,

Your questioned interested me. Ecclesiastes ends at chapter 12 as you stated. The book of Ecclesiasticus, an Apocrypha book, has 51 chapters. Did you just mix them up? As they are very close in title name. Searching a little bit I did not see Ecclesiastes going past 12. Though you may have some information I don't.

Now on Psalms 23 I looked up and did find at least one version, the DRA 1899 edition, in where Psalms 23 has 10 verses but they are all, 1-10, completely different from the KJV, and most others, for that chapter of Psalms. I have no idea where that Psalms 23 came from in that version of the Bible. Interesting.

God Bless.
