The KJV renders 14 different Hebrew and Greek words as “good”

from H2616 (חָסַד);
How the KJV renders it
godly, good, holy, merciful, saint, ungodly
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

“ungodly”
