It doesn't come from the King James Version. It comes either from some American translation or from some translation made by some other group of folks who don't speak the king's English. You can tell by the spelling. The King James Version is of course written in the king's English. In the king's English the American word "rumor" is spelled as "rumour". In the US, the King James Version is still one of the several translations most popular among Protestants today. It is more especially popular among those Protestant denominations which are considered to be fundamentalist. There are many fundamentalist ministers who very strongly denounce all of the later and more "modern" translations.
