The KJV is not “old English”, though it certainly appears that way to modern eyes, but rather “Jacobian” English. Old English would be what you would have heard in King Harold’s army at Hastings. Middle English would follow in the Middle Ages, and then with the Renaissance, you have the dawning of modern English.
