The KJB, like all other Bibles before it, came from.......

The Vulgate, which is a late fourth-century Latin translation of the Bible that became, during the 16th century, the Catholic Church’s officially promulgated Latin version of the Bible. Without the Vulgate the King James Version of the Bible would not exist.

The King James did not come from the Latin Vulgate. However, the Challoner Douay-Rheims is borrowed almost entirely from the King James. I've always been amused at the thought of a bunch of late arriving immigrants speaking in thees and thous in church, as if any Catholic bible was ever permitted in English prior to the KJV. Men died trying to bring this book to us. It's a masterpiece of the English language. You use figures of speech nearly every day that come from the KJV. So, put down the pom-pons and dispense with the "go team" mentality when it comes to this book. Respect it as great English literature if your religious biases don't allow you to respect it as the most influential translation of the Word Of God to have ever existed.

Nonsense. That’s not accurate in the slightest.

The KJV was translated from the Greek Textus Receptus that Dutch Catholic scholar Erasmus of Rotterdam had produced using six Greek New Testament manuscripts. The first printing of Erasmus’ work was in 1516 and it was the basis for Reformation era Bible translations including Luther, Tyndale, and the KJB.

Utter nonsense.

The KJV NT derives from the Received Text - A compilation from Greek exemplars, wholly separate from the Vulgate. It's OT is derived from the Masoretic Text primarily, again wholly separate from the Vulgate. It would be accurate to say that it leaned upon the Vulgate, and the Septuagint, but no more so than the Syriac. Were the Vulgate unavailable, no doubt the KJV could have been rightly written all the same.
