Abner and Joab Face Off at Gibeon Pool

Prompt

2 Samuel 2: At the pool of Gibeon, Abner, captain of Ish-bosheth's army, and Joab, captain of David's men, sit facing each other on opposite sides of the great stone pool before the fighting begins; Abner says, "Let the young men now arise." Abner and Joab are large in the frame, one on each side of the still water, each seated on the stone edge with his sword across his knees, eyeing each other with cold, wary tension; Abner gestures with an open hand. Behind each captain stand a few of his armed young men. The round, rock-cut pool of Gibeon with steps descending into blue water, bright clear morning light on pale limestone; tense standoff, no fighting shown. 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.
