Prompt

2 Kings 13: The dying prophet Elisha lays his hands on King Jehoash's hands as the king shoots the arrow of the LORD's deliverance. Elisha, large and central, propped up on his sickbed, weak and pale but with blazing eyes, stretches out both hands and places them over the hands of King Jehoash of Israel, who kneels beside the bed drawing a bow aimed through an open east window. The arrow flies out toward bright morning light pouring over distant hills. A simple stone room with a woven blanket and clay lamp, warm golden sunrise light. 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.
