Best Answer

The King James Version of The Bible was largely based on the preceding Bishop's Bible, which in turn was an improvement of Tyndale's Bible, written almost a hundred years earlier. The 1611 King James Bible retained much of Tyndale's English, which was already archaic, so it is hard to imagine this Bible contributing much at all to the development of the English language. The 'Authorized Version' of the King James Bible appeared in 1666, with some modernisation of the English, but it was only reacting to change, not contributing to it.
