David Charges Solomon on His Deathbed

Prompt

1 Kings 2: The dying King David gives his final charge to his son Solomon. The very old King David, large and central, lies propped on cushions on his royal bed, gripping the hand of the young King Solomon who kneels close at his side, listening with grave attention as his father urges him to be strong and keep the law of the LORD. Their faces are near each other, full of love and solemnity. A quiet cedar-panelled palace chamber in Jerusalem, soft golden late-afternoon light falling across them from a window. 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.
