The Sun Stood Still

Josh. 10:12-14 "Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel:

'Sun, stand still over Gibeon;
And Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.'
So the sun stood still,
And the moon stopped,
Till the people had revenge
Upon their enemies.

Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heeded the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel."
See (The Lord Will Fight For You)
2 Kin. 20:8-11 "And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, 'What is the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the Lord the third day?' Then Isaiah said, 'This is the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing which He has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees or go backward ten degrees?' And Hezekiah answered, 'It is an easy thing for the shadow to go down ten *degrees; (Lit. steps) no, but let the shadow go backward ten degrees.' So Isaiah the prophet cried out to the Lord, and He brought the shadow ten *degrees (Lit. steps) backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz."
BibleNote: I understand the sundial of that day was in the form of steps.
Hab. 3:11 "The sun and moon stood still in their
   habitation;
At the light of Your arrows they went,
At the shining of Your glittering spear."
