Prompt

2 Samuel 8: After his victories, King David brings the golden shields of Hadadezer's servants to Jerusalem and dedicates the gold, silver and bronze to the LORD. David, crowned and in royal blue with a sword at his hip, stands large and central, holding up one gleaming round shield of gold, his face grateful and humble rather than proud. Beside him a few soldiers set down more golden shields and vessels of silver and bronze on the stone pavement at his feet. Behind, the stone walls and towers of Jerusalem on Mount Zion under a brilliant blue sky; triumphant, thankful 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.
