Pure Cambridge Editon though any printing around 1769 to present should be fine.

Did you all know Dan 3:25 was son of God as in (angel) before 1769?

Thank you for explaining. I had heard of the Cambridge Edition before, but not something with the title "Pure Cambridge Edition."

The NKJV also has "Son of God" in Daniel 3:25:

“"Look!" he answered, "I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."” (Da 3:25 NKJV)

The KJV, the Geneva Bible, JB2000, JB2013, KJ21, KIV2011 and Webster all have "Son of God, too.

There are some KJVO folks who believe that the English Bible had to be refined 7 times to get from Tyndale to the KJV. Then refined another 7 times to get from the 1611 to the 1769 Blayney revision printed in Cambridge, hence the name “Pure Cambridge Edition.”

The KJB always had sonne of God before Blaney or someone changed it to Son of God.

Precious versions of the Bible had marginal note indicate son of God as angel.

The change to "Son of God" was made long before 1769 although a few KJV editions still have "son of God" after 1769.

Daniel 3:25 [see Dan. 4:8]

Thanks, but again, I cannot find any version that does have "brother" in 1 Chronicles 21:19. In the NKJV, it says:

“So David went up at the word of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of the LORD.” (1Ch 21:19 NKJV)

1 Samuel 22:19:

“Also Nob, the city of the priests, he struck with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing infants, oxen and donkeys and sheep — with the edge of the sword.” (1Sa 22:19 NKJV)

No brother there. However, you are correct with 1 Chronicles 20:5:

“Again there was war with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear [was] like a weaver’s beam.” (1Ch 20:5 NKJV)
