'Instead' in the Bible

Instead, Jonah immediately headed off to Tarshish to escape from the commission of the Lord. He traveled to Joppa and found a merchant ship heading to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went aboard it to go with them to Tarshish far away from the Lord.

Instead, they tried to row back to land, but they were not able to do so because the storm kept growing worse and worse.

So now, Lord, kill me instead, because I would rather die than live!"
