Jabez Kneels and Prays at Sunrise

Prompt

1 Chronicles 4: Jabez, a man of Judah more honourable than his brothers, kneels alone on a rocky hilltop at sunrise and calls on the God of Israel: "Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast." Jabez is large and central, kneeling with both open hands lifted toward the sky, his face turned upward full of earnest longing; behind and below him stretch the wide terraced fields and hills of Judah he asks God to enlarge. Warm rays of golden sunrise break through the clouds and fall upon him as a sign of God's answer; hopeful, intimate 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.
