Absalom Weighs the Counsel of Hushai

Prompt

2 Samuel 17: In Jerusalem, Absalom hears the rival counsels of Ahithophel and Hushai, and chooses Hushai's advice, for the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel. Absalom, with his long flowing hair and princely robes, sits large and central on a carved chair, chin on his hand, weighing the words. Hushai the Archite stands close before him, large in frame, gesturing persuasively with open hands, describing David as a bear robbed of her whelps. Ahithophel stands just behind, half in shadow, his face dark with frustration and offended pride. A palace council chamber with stone columns and an oil lamp, warm golden lamplight and evening glow through a window; tense, scheming mood. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
