• enthroned between the cherubim: A representation of God’s glorious presence hovered over the Ark in the Most Holy Place (God’s “throne room”).
• The involvement of Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phinehas, foreshadows the disaster that ensued (see 3:11-14).

(Occurrence 0) who sits above the cherubim

(Some words not found in UHB: and,sent the,people Shiloh and,brought from=there DOM ark covenant YHWH armies/angels was_sitting the=cherubims and=there two_of sons_of ˊĒlī with ark covenant the=ʼElohīm Hofni and,Phinehas )

You may need to make explicit that the cherubim are those on the lid of the ark of the covenant. The biblical writers often spoke of the ark of the covenant as if it were Yahweh’s footstool upon which he rested his feet as he sat on his throne in heaven above. Alternate translation: “who sits on his throne above the cherubim on the ark of the covenant”

This Phinehas is not the same as the grandson of Aaron in Exodus and Numbers.
