The word Jehovah is contained four times in the KJV of The Bible. It was never taken out.
The original Hebrew text contains the name Jehovah (Hebrew consonants for YHWH) more than 7000 times, so yes, it was taken out. Translators chose to remove it from the Bible to honour the Jewish tradition which held that the devine name was too sacred to be pronounced.
According to The New World Translation, printed by Jehovah's Witnesses, reference Bible page 1564 it says, ''Sometime during the second or third century C.E. the scribes removed the Tetragrammaton from both the Septuagint and the Christian Greek Scriptures and replaced it with Ky′ri‧os, "Lord" or The‧os′, "God."
