I do agree the 1828 Webster's may have less "poltically correct" and more "true" definitions but I think it'd be best if you used a modern dictionary and the Webster's both of which are available on the Internet.
Aye, but you won't need the word "helicopter" for reading the King James. An 1828 Webster's probably would be an excellent companion to the KJV.

No guilt of life, no fear of death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

However she said that the she considered the 1828 Webster's the best dictionary around. But yes the 1828 Webster's would be good, perhaps better than many modern dictionaries for reading the KJV. |

Accuracy for me without a slant one way or the other is the way to go.
Oh yeah, and having it be somewhat easy to read helps!
