The scholarship I've looked at indicates that the manuscripts differ widely in the information they include. The Bishops Bible version is clearly translated from the Latin--one can tell by the scrambled pronouns.

But do the versions you have, under King Ozee (Hoshea), the last king of Israel, say that he allowed his people to go to Jerusalem three times a year. That seems not to be in the Bible, and the only reference I could locate gave the source as Yer. Ta'an. iv. 7; Giṭ. 88a. I'm guessing that's a reference to the Targums, but that's just a guess.

Peter of Poitiers Compendium shows up in English in 1568; it's the genealogy of Christ Archbishop Parker uses for the Bishops' Bible.
