2 Samuel 12:31 - nkjv

Are you willing to apply the same exact measures/standards to the KJV and suggest that the KJV added many words to the pre-1611 English Bibles and added many words in English for which it had no original-language words of Scripture?
Concerning 1 Samuel 14:14, Dave Brunn maintained that “the KJV translators added an expanded, interpretive clause to their translation” and that “they translated the Hebrew word for ‘yoke’ as ‘acre …which a yoke of oxen might plow” (One Bible, p. 57). Could 1 Samuel 14:14 be a place where the KJV kept part of an addition from the Bishops’ Bible? The 1568 Bishops’ Bible rendered the last half of 1 Samuel 14:14 as follows: “within the compass as it were about an half acre of land which two [oxen plow].” E. W. Bullinger claimed that the KJV’s rendering of 1 Kings 20:33 “is a loose paraphrase” (Figures of Speech, p. 116).
Concerning Psalm 69:22, William Barrick wrote: “In this brief text consisting of six Hebrew words, the [KJV] translators expanded them into a very different form utilizing twenty-two words (nine of which are additions not found in the Hebrew forms either lexically or grammatically). This particular example of expansion is paraphrastic” (Understanding Bible Translation, pp. 61-62).

Nkjv said it was just updating arachic language, not adding or changing the text.
No, the KJB is right.
No, the KJB is right.
Your opinion is incorrect. Changing or correcting misleading or inaccurate renderings in the KJV is not changing the KJV's underlying texts.

So, the kjb's reading along with the Bishop's, Geneva is wrong on this verse?
