Prompt

1 Samuel 26: By night David and Abishai creep into Saul's camp, where the king lies in a deep sleep from the LORD, and David takes Saul's spear and water jug but will not harm the LORD's anointed. David crouches large and central beside the sleeping Saul, one hand lifting the clay water cruse from beside Saul's head, the other holding back Abishai. Abishai, close behind him, grips Saul's spear that was stuck in the ground at the king's bolster, looking at David urgently. Saul lies asleep on a blanket in the foreground-middle, wrapped in his royal cloak, and the dim shapes of sleeping soldiers lie far behind. Bright silver moonlight and a starry blue night sky make the scene clear; hushed, suspenseful mood. 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.
