Prompt

2 Chronicles 13: King Abijah of Judah stands upon Mount Zemaraim and cries out to Jeroboam and his army below: "God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers." Abijah, a young bearded king in bronze armour and a royal cloak with a gold circlet, is large and central on a rocky mountain ledge, one arm flung out toward the valley, his face fierce and confident; beside him two priests in white linen raise long silver trumpets to their lips. Far below in the valley, small and out of focus, the vast army of Israel with its banners. Bright, clear morning light over the hills of Ephraim and a wide blue sky. 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.
