Midrasch zu Bereschit 44:17

וַיֹּ֕אמֶר חָלִ֣ילָה לִּ֔י מֵעֲשׂ֖וֹת זֹ֑את הָאִ֡ישׁ אֲשֶׁר֩ נִמְצָ֨א הַגָּבִ֜יעַ בְּיָד֗וֹ ה֚וּא יִהְיֶה־לִּ֣י עָ֔בֶד וְאַתֶּ֕ם עֲל֥וּ לְשָׁל֖וֹם אֶל־אֲבִיכֶֽם׃ (פ)

Er aber antwortete: Fern sei es von mir, solches zu tun! Der Mann, bei dem der Becher gefunden worden, soll mir Sklave sein, ihr andern aber zieht in Frieden zu eurem Vater.

another explanation: "and Yehuda approached" - this is what it means when it was said with divine inspiration through Shlomo: "wisdom gives strength to the wise".
