    Please explain why in your translations 2nd Sam 22.35, Job 20.24, Psalm 18.34, Jeremiah 15.12, you translate the word 'STEEL'. This is incorrect. Steel was not invented until at least 2 BC. This should read 'Bronze' at the very least.

    I agree with you Glenys that the Hebrew word for the references you gave, show that 'copper or bronze' was the intended meaning. Why the KJV translators opted for 'steel', I wouldn't know nor even hazard a guess. However, from a little research, it seems that steel (maybe in it very primitive form) was found from excavations at an archaeological site in Anatolia (now in Turkey), and that was dated from 1800 BC (about 3800 yrs ago). Yet, this knowledge shouldn't have allowed for a word change.
