1 Kings 8:3
Ver. 3. And all the elders of Israel came,.... To Zion, the city of David:
and the priests took up the ark; from thence; in 2Ch 5:4 it is said the Levites did it, whose business it was, De 31:25, and so the priests might be called; for every priest was a Levite, though every Levite was not a priest, and the priests did at all times bear the ark; see Jos 3:15.
