Hi boaz. Could you be more specific? Are you talking about bibles that preceded the KJB like the Latin? The Latin had all the books plus the Apocrypha. Actually the Latin versions (there were several of them) were often much closer to the KJB than are versions like the nasb, niv, rsv, esv stuff.
There were foreign language versions before the KJB that were really quite good. The Spanish Reina Valera of 1602 and the 1549 Italian Diodati. Both of these had all the books of the Bible in them and generally followed the same texts as the KJB. Far, far closer to the true Bible than the modern versions.
Hope this helps some,
Will K
