Adam Clarke, on Josh 10:14

“There was not before nor after so long a day, the Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel.”

“And there was no day like that - There was no period of time in which the sun was kept so long above the horizon as on that occasion. Some learned men have supposed that the Fable of Phaeton was founded on this historic fact. The fable may be seen with all the elegance of poetic embellishment in the commencement of the second book of Ovid's Metamorphoses; but I confess I can see nothing in the pretended copy that can justify the above opinion.”
