How the translations differ: The WEB is a modern public-domain revision of the 1901 ASV; the KJV dates to 1611. The KJV uses say, unto, what, soever, while the WEB renders these as tell, all, whatever, ask. Both translate the same underlying Greek or Hebrew text — the differences are stylistic, not theological.
