'Stead' in the Bible

And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.

The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
