Variant spelling of JEHOVAH

Jehovah

2 Nephi 22:2
P: Jehovah >jg JEHOVAH
1830-1981: JEHOVAH

Discussion: Reportedly not capitalized in the Book of Mormon Manuscripts; changed by John Gilbert as a convention from the KJV. The other instance of Jehovah in the Book of Mormon (Moroni 10:34) was not capitalized, but this is probably because it is not a biblical quote.

Summary: Remove the "all capitals" from Jehovah, since this is just a KJV convention and not from manuscripts.
