Genesis 42:36-37 - Their father Jacob said to them, "You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more and Simeon is no more, and now you want to take Benjamin. Everything is against me!"
Then Reuben said to his father, "You may put both of my sons to death if I do not bring him back to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him back."
You might wonder, "What was Reuben thinking!" Nevermind that. Assuming they heard what Dad said, what were Reuben's sons now thinking? Were they near enough to hear the conversation? Did it ever get back to them? Before you doubt it, notice that it got down to Moses who wrote it down here.
