There is no KJV of 1 Maccabees, but it does appear in the Apocrypha, as shown below.

Chapter 16 Vulgate

   1 Et ascendit Ioannes de Ga zaris et nuntiavit Simoni pa tri suo, quae fecit Cendebaeus.
   2 Et vocavit Simon duos filios seniores, Iudam et Ioannem, et ait illis: "Ego et fratres mei et domus patris mei expugnavimus hostes Israel ab adulescentia usque in hunc diem, et prosperatum est in manibus nostris liberare Israel saepius.
   3 Nunc autem senui, vos autem in misericordia sufficientes estis in annis; estote loco meo et fratris mei et egressi pugnate pro gente nostra; auxilium vero de caelo vobiscum sit".
   4 Et elegit de regione viginti milia virorum belligeratorum et equites; et profecti sunt ad Cendebaeum et dormierunt in Modin
   5 et surrexerunt mane et abierunt in campum. Et ecce exercitus copiosus in obviam illis peditum et equitum, et fluvius torrens erat inter medium ipsorum.
   6 Et admovit castra contra faciem eorum ipse et populus eius et vidit populum trepidantem ad transfretandum torrentem; et transfretavit primus, et viderunt eum viri et transierunt post eum.
   7 Et divisit populum, et equites in medio peditum; erat autem equitatus adversariorum copiosus nimis.
   8 Et exclamaverunt tubis, et in fugam conversus est Cendebaeus et castra eius, et ceciderunt ex eis multi vulnerati; residui autem in munitionem fugerunt.
   9 Tunc vulneratus est Iudas frater Ioannis; Ioannes autem insecutus est eos, donec venit Cedron, quam aedificavit.
   10 Et fugerunt usque ad turres, quae erant in agris Azoti, et succendit eas igni; et ceciderunt ex illis duo milia virorum. Et reversus est in Iudaeam in pace.
   11 Et Ptolemaeus filius Abubi constitutus erat dux in campo Iericho et habebat argentum et aurum multum;
   12 erat enim gener summi sacerdotis.
   13 Et exaltatum est cor eius, et volebat obtinere regionem et cogitabat dolum adversus Simonem et filios eius, ut tolleret eos.
   14 Simon autem perambulans civitates, quae erant in regione, et sollicitudinem gerens earum descendit in Iericho ipse et Matthathias et Iudas filii eius, anno centesimo septuagesimo septimo, mense undecimo, hic est mensis Sabath.
   15 Et suscepit eos filius Abubi in munitiunculam, quae vocatur Doc, cum dolo, quam aedificavit; et fecit eis convivium magnum et abscondit illic viros.
   16 Et, cum inebriatus esset Simon et filii eius, surrexit Ptolemaeus cum suis et sumpserunt arma sua et intraverunt in convivium et occiderunt eum et duos filios eius et quosdam pueros eius.
   17 Et fecit deceptionem magnam et reddidit mala pro bonis.
   18 Et scripsit haec Ptolemaeus et misit regi, ut mitteret ei exercitum in auxilium et traderet ei civitates et regionem.
   19 Et misit alios in Gazaram tollere Ioannem; et tribunis misit epistulas, ut venirent ad se, et daret eis argentum et aurum et dona.
   20 Et alios misit occupare Ierusalem et montem templi.
   21 Et praecurrens quidam nuntiavit Ioanni in Gazara quia periit pater eius et fratres eius et quia: "Misit te quoque interfici".
   22 Ut audivit autem, vehementer expavit et comprehendit viros, qui venerant perdere eum, et occidit eos; cognovit enim quia quaerebant eum perdere.
   23 Et cetera sermonum Ioannis et bellorum eius et bonarum virtutum, quibus fortiter gessit, et aedificii murorum, quos exstruxit, et rerum gestarum eius,
   24 ecce haec scripta sunt in libro dierum sacerdotii eius, ex quo factus est princeps sacerdotum post patrem suum.

Apocrypha

   1 Then came up John from Gazera, and told Simon his father what Cendebeus had done.
   2 Wherefore Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and John, and said unto them, I, and my brethren, and my fathers house, have ever from our youth unto this day fought against the enemies of Israel; and things have prospered so well in our hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes.
   3 But now I am old, and ye, by Gods mercy, are of a sufficient age: be ye instead of me and my brother, and go and fight for our nation, and the help from heaven be with you.
   4 So he chose out of the country twenty thousand men of war with horsemen, who went out against Cendebeus, and rested that night at Modin.
   5 And when as they rose in the morning, and went into the plain, behold, a mighty great host both of footmen and horsemen came against them: howbeit there was a water brook betwixt them.
   6 So he and his people pitched over against them: and when he saw that the people were afraid to go over the water brook, he went first over himself, and then the men seeing him passed through after him.
   7 That done, he divided his men, and set the horsemen in the midst of the footmen: for the enemies horsemen were very many.
   8 Then sounded they with the holy trumpets: whereupon Cendebeus and his host were put to flight, so that many of them were slain, and the remnant gat them to the strong hold.
   9 At that time was Judas Johns brother wounded; but John still followed after them, until he came to Cedron, which Cendebeus had built.
   10 So they fled even unto the towers in the fields of Azotus; wherefore he burned it with fire: so that there were slain of them about two thousand men. Afterward he returned into the land of Judea in peace.
   11 Moreover in the plain of Jericho was Ptolemeus the son of Abubus made captain, and he had abundance of silver and gold:
   12 For he was the high priests son in law.
   13 Wherefore his heart being lifted up, he thought to get the country to himself, and thereupon consulted deceitfully against Simon and his sons to destroy them.
   14 Now Simon was visiting the cities that were in the country, and taking care for the good ordering of them; at which time he came down himself to Jericho with his sons, Mattathias and Judas, in the hundred threescore and seventeenth year, in the eleventh month, called Sabat:
   15 Where the son of Abubus receiving them deceitfully into a little hold, called Docus, which he had built, made them a great banquet: howbeit he had hid men there.
   16 So when Simon and his sons had drunk largely, Ptolemee and his men rose up, and took their weapons, and came upon Simon into the banqueting place, and slew him, and his two sons, and certain of his servants.
   17 In which doing he committed a great treachery, and recompensed evil for good.
   18 Then Ptolemee wrote these things, and sent to the king, that he should send him an host to aid him, and he would deliver him the country and cities.
   19 He sent others also to Gazera to kill John: and unto the tribunes he sent letters to come unto him, that he might give them silver, and gold, and rewards.
   20 And others he sent to take Jerusalem, and the mountain of the temple.
   21 Now one had run afore to Gazera and told John that his father and brethren were slain, and, quoth he, Ptolemee hath sent to slay thee also.
   22 Hereof when he heard, he was sore astonished: so he laid hands on them that were come to destroy him, and slew them; for he knew that they sought to make him away.
   23 As concerning the rest of the acts of John, and his wars, and worthy deeds which he did, and the building of the walls which he made, and his doings,
   24 Behold, these are written in the chronicles of his priesthood, from the time he was made high priest after his father.
