The Lord Appears to Solomon by Night

Prompt

1 Kings 9: The LORD appears to Solomon a second time, by night, after the temple and palace are finished. King Solomon, large and central, kneels on the flat rooftop of his palace at night, looking up in reverent awe, his face lit by a radiant column of pure white-gold light streaming down from the starry sky; the presence of God is shown only as this glorious light, with no figure in it. Behind him, under a deep blue moonlit sky, the finished temple of Jerusalem glows softly on its 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.
