KJV - Judges 18:19

And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?

They told him, "Be quiet, cover your mouth, and come with us. Be our father and priest. Is it better for you to be a priest for just one man's household, or to be a priest for an entire tribe and family in Israel?"
