Deuteronomy 31:9 states that the priests carried the ark, consistent with the priests carrying it here.

Joshua 3:3 shows the priests carrying the ark into the Jordan, the same role as here in Solomon's temple dedication.

2 Chronicles 5:5-8 is the parallel account of the same event: priests bringing the ark into the temple.

Deuteronomy 10:8 records the LORD setting apart Levi to carry the ark—the foundational command for this action.

2 Chronicles 5:4 is the parallel verse; it says 'Levites' took up the ark, while here it says 'priests'. A close parallel with a slight variation.

1 Chronicles 15:2 states that only Levites may carry the ark—providing the rule behind the priests’ action here.

Numbers 4:15 assigns the ark to Kohathites, but here priests carry it — a notable difference in practice.

In Joshua 3:14, priests likewise carry the ark in a procession—here crossing the Jordan. A parallel act of transporting the ark.
