As this incredibly historic eclipse approaches, I thought I would draw attention to the only mention of an eclipse in the Amplified Bible (and only in the original version called the Classic Edition on Bible Gateway}.  I am not sure whether the word eclipse is in any other version.  The reference is in James (written by the brother of Our Lord, although he says that he is only a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. Interesting that the context includes the term firstfruits.   

James 1:16-18Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)

¹⁶ Do not be misled, my beloved brethren.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse].

¹⁸ And it was of His own [free] will that He gave us birth [as sons] by [His] Word of Truth, so that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures [a sample of what He created to be consecrated to Himself.
