The term does not appear in the New King James Version and only 7 times (either alone or with another term) in the King James.
According to Webster's Dictionary, "Jehovah" is, "an erroneous rendering of the ineffable [inexpressible] name JHVH [or YHVH or YHWH] in the Hebrew scriptures." Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary adds:
"The divine name Yahweh is usually translated Lord in English versions of the Bible, because it became a practice in late Old Testament Judaism not to pronounce the sacred name YHWH, but to say instead 'my Lord' (Adonai)-a practice still used today in the synagogue. When the vowels of Adonai were attached to the consonants YHWH in the medieval period, the word Jehovah resulted."

How many times is THE NAME Jehovah mentioned in the Bible?
The name Jehovah is in the oldest manuscripts and scrolls of the Bible oer 7000 times. In fact, it appears more than any other name in the Bible. However, sadly, most modern translations have take out the name, and replaced it with the titles LORD and GOD. They capitalized the word "LORD" and "GOD" wherever the original text used the name Jehovah. Some translations have left the name in a few places. It appears 4 times in the old King James Bible, but the new King James edition has completely removed the name. The American Standard Version has it throughout the old testiment. There are other translations that have the name in a few select places. The New World Translation uses the devine name of Jehovah throughout wherever it originally appeared.
How many Bibles have Jehovah as God's name?
A limited search of english Bible translations shows that the name Jehovah appears in the King James Version, American Standard Version, New World Translation, Young's Literal Translation, and the Darby Translation. It appears in it's alternate form 'Yahweh' in the Amplified Bible, New Living Translation, and the Holman Christian Standard Bible. It also appears in marginal references in other Bibles. This was a limited search of english bibles only. I cannot be sure if there are others, or consider too that in different languages the spelling and pronunciation will be different, so Spanish, German, and other bibles that use the name will be very difficult to search. In the oldest copies of the Bible that we have today, the name Jehovah appears in over 7000 places. Many of today's Bibles do not use the divine name, favoring instead to use the title 'Lord' or 'God' in it's place.
