'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.

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