Are you looking for a specific version of the KJV Bible?  The default KJV Bible found in the First Time Wizard has [was] in Genesis 1:2, is this what you are referring to?

yes something that would not have the he [was] but he was.  I am willing to pay for it if need be

actually darkness (was) want darkness was

Do you want all cases of brackets removed? I can do this in SQL for you if that helps?

@PaulRowell I was headed the same place.  copy the database and rename to KJV-Mod.sqllite then open a sqlite browser and remove both brackets, save the file....then start OpenLP and use the modified file.  

PaulRowell

For any one else who wants to make this change themselves, I used DB Browser for SQLite (available from https://sqlitebrowser.org/) The commands I used were:

UPDATE verse SET text = REPLACE(text,' [',' ')
UPDATE verse SET text = REPLACE(text,'] ',' ')

I learnt something new today - leaving a renamed SQLite file in the bibles folder that has the same metadata bible name can lead to unpredictable results so if you are going to rename the file and leave it there make sure you rename it to something like "KJV.sqlite_orig" Or alternatively edit the name of the bible in the metadata in the database to be "KJV no brackets" or something equivalent.
