Levite Singers Lead Jehoshaphat's Army in Praise
White-robed singers with a lyre and a trumpet walk ahead of a crowned king and his spearmen. They sing with their faces lifted at sunrise over dry hills.
Prompt
2 Chronicles 20: Rising early to go out into the wilderness of Tekoa against the armies of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, King Jehoshaphat appoints singers to go out before the army, praising the beauty of holiness and singing, "Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever." At the front of the march, Levite singers in white linen robes are large and central, walking forward with faces lifted in joyful song, one leading with arms raised, others playing harps and lyres; just behind them King Jehoshaphat in armour and royal cloak with a gold circlet walks with confident faith at the head of his soldiers, whose spears glint in the background. The rugged golden hills of the wilderness of Tekoa at sunrise, warm rays streaming over the ridge; a triumphant mood of faith. 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.
