Prompt

2 Chronicles 24: At King Joash's command a chest is made and set outside at the gate of the house of the LORD, and all the princes and people rejoice and cast in their offering to repair the temple. King Joash, a grown king in his thirties with a royal robe and gold circlet, is large and central beside the wooden chest with a hole bored in its lid, smiling as a joyful old farmer drops silver into it; the aged white-bearded high priest Jehoiada stands at his side with a satisfied look, and a woman and a young man wait with their gifts. Behind them the temple gate and stone walls under repair with wooden scaffolding and masons at work; bright, cheerful morning sunlight. 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.
