Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 8:3
8:3 The priests - For although the Levites might do this,#Numb 4:15|, yet the priests did it at this time, for the greaterhonour of the solemnity; and because the Levites might not enter intothe holy - place, much less into the holy of holies, where it was to beplaced, into which the priests themselves might not have entered, if thehigh - priest alone could have done it.
