Translations can differ. I believe the Jewish Bible contains the Book of Esther and that the Christian does not. The books of the Jewish Bible are in a different order than the Christian. Jewish thought and religion rely on midrash or commentary on the Bible--there is no fixed text in Judaism. For example, "an eye for an eye" in rabbinic thinking means that if you injure someone you need to pay for that, whatever a court orders. I think the Jewish approach is less known than the Christian in the USA but I've been in an interfaith group for many years and learned a lot from other people. I'm Jewish, and I read the torah, psalms, and prophets almost daily. As an English speaker I enjoy the KJV but it is not that accurate from the Hebrew. More than one version is good!
