The Priests' Sacred Duty
Commentators note that while this verse says "the Levites took up the ark," the parallel account in 1 Kings and the context of verse 7 clarify that it was specifically the priests (who were from the tribe of Levi) who performed this sacred duty. The term "Levites" is used here as a broader tribal name that includes the priests.
