I just wonder do the Jews of today read the other books like 1 and 2 Maccabees, Tobit, Judith, Baruch?

As you have noticed a lot of protestants jump to conclusions on books like those, I am careful not to, as they may have very well been part of the original Bible before the English translations came about.

What if King James got it wrong all those years ago to leave out those 7 books?

I am also well aware the Catholic & Orthodox denominations have been around for a lot longer that the 1000s of other Christian denominations.
Of course the original bible King James commissioned people to compile had 80 books. For some reason some were removed and they ended up with 66.
