'Behalf' in the Bible

Therefore you will give parting giftsOn behalf of Moresheth-gath;The houses of Achzib will become a deceptionTo the kings of Israel.

As for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, seemingly insignificant among the clans of Judah -- from you a king will emerge who will rule over Israel on my behalf, one whose origins are in the distant past.

I will endure the LORD's anger since I have sinned against him until he takes over my defense, administers justice on my behalf, and brings me out to the light, where I will gaze on his righteousness.
