"He", or "Them"?
@Mike That depends on how you're referring to God. The bible speaks of the godhead (Rom 1:20, Col 2:9). That godhead consists of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Mat 28:19 brings all three of the godhead into play. So in that sense, the godhead consists of the three, God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
But each of the three work differently. In short, God planned everything, Jesus made everything and the Holy Spirit "adorned" or made everything to look like it does.
So… if your talking about the work one of the godhead does… then you're talking about the individual entity of the godhead (i.e. God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit).
But if your talking about God in general…. then it would be about the godhead.
This would make a great study if you like… We just can't do it on the forum… 😎

@Mike, please read the guidelines for the forums. But I can't resist a factual correction: The English word "godhead" is first attested circa 1200 i.e. long before the KJV. Be forewarned that this thread may be deleted as it is completely off-topic.
Ok just passing by.
A classic book on this topic is:
https://www.logos.com/product/298459/knowing-god-50th-anniversary-ed?queryId=169cd624d75028127bf88dc833d952e1
It's also available in audio format. I also like John Bevere:
https://www.logos.com/product/161593/the-fear-of-the-lord?queryId=f3abe523ea174af6f28c39c460049b22
It too has an audio format. I read this book at a low point in my life and it helped me greatly.
Ah yes…. The things we hide behind… With an aire of stopping, the teaching still goes on… reminds me of the words of a song… "when will we ever learn…. when will we ever" LOL 😎

A taste from the "Introduction":
The word with which we embark on this first volume of a series of theological studies is a word with which the philosophical person does not begin, but rather concludes. It is a word that has never possessed a permanent place or an authentic voice in the concert of the exact sciences, and, when it is chosen as a subject for discussion, appears to betray in him who chooses it an idle amateur among such very busy experts. It is, finally, a word from which religion, and theology in particular, have taken their leave and distanced themselves in modern times by a vigorous drawing of the boundaries. In short, this word is untimely in three different senses, and bearing it as one’s treasure will not win one anyone’s favours; one rather risks finding oneself outside everyone’s camp. Yet if the philosopher cannot begin with this word, but can at best conclude with it (always assuming that he has not forgotten it under way), should not the Christian for this very reason perhaps take it as his first word? And since the exact sciences no longer have any time to spare for it (nor does theology, in so far as it increasingly strives to follow the method of the exact sciences and to envelope itself in their atmosphere), precisely for this reason is it perhaps high time to break through this kind of exactness, which can only pertain to one particular sector of reality, in order to bring the truth of the whole again into view—truth as a transcendental property of Being, truth which is no abstraction, rather the living bond between God and the world. And finally: since religion in our modern period has renounced that word, it would not be idle to investigate at least this once what countenance (if we can still speak of a ‘countenance’) such a denuded religion may exhibit.
Beauty is the word that shall be our first.
