The only reference to a whale in The Bible that I am aware of is in the book of Jonah.I don't have a King James version to confirm that they do refer as the fish as a whale. I have a NIV version and it says that God provided a great fish.As a child I recall the story being told with Jonah being swallowed by a whale

There are 4 references to 'whale' in the KJV Bible:

Genesis 1.21

Job 7.12

Ezekiel 32.2

Matthew 12.40

In Jonah, the 'whale' is called 'a great fish' (Jonah 1.17), but Jesus calls it a whale (Matthew 12.40)
