Four ragged men with cloth over their faces stand at the entrance of a tent, one holding a cup and another bread, with an empty camp and a walled city in the distance.

Prompt

2 Kings 7: Four starving lepers creep into the Syrian camp at twilight and find it completely deserted. The four men, large and central, ragged and gaunt, wrapped in tattered cloaks with cloth over their faces, stand in astonishment at the entrance of a great abandoned tent, one holding up a gold cup, another clutching bread, their faces full of disbelief and joy. Around them the empty camp stretches away: tents left standing, cooking pots, scattered garments, and horses and donkeys still tied to their stakes. Warm golden twilight glow under a deep blue evening sky, the walls of Samaria faint on the distant hill. 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.
