Seems that dates aren't mentioned at all.  I wonder if KJV literalists
eat dates? >>>>>

You will likely find that the King James be literarily valuable, but lacks any usefulness whatsoever as a research tool.  There are many better versions to use.  I recommend one of the commentary versions that include historical and cultural reference along with the translated texts.  Use KJV for serious research only as a last resort . . . . as it was not written by scholars necessarily as scholarly work, but by scribes seeking to please a King's Commission.  Not invalid, just not research material.
