Joseph continues with his shenanigans and gets his servants to hide his silver cup in Benjamin's sack. He does this to enable him to falsely accuse the brothers of deceiving him.
The brothers. not surprisingly, protested that they had not stolen anything, but then were in dismay when the cup was found, especially as it was in Benjamin's sack.
They admitted guilt, even though they had done nothing wrong in this instance. Joseph only wants to detain Benjamin, which in some ways makes the situation worse for the rest. Judah explains the background, and pleads with Joseph.
