Because 400 years ago when the translation was made, “kill” was synonymous with “murder.” If this is true, what word did Jacobeans use if they wanted to convey the concepts for which we would use the word "kill"? For example, "I will kill a chicken for supper," or "George was killed in a construction accident."

Animals are usually “slaughtered”. That’s why “Manslaughter” is a crime.
People just die in accidents. They are not killed.
