'Approve' in the Bible

I am taking the kingdom from him because they have abandoned me and worshiped the Sidonian goddess Astarte, the Moabite god Chemosh, and the Ammonite god Milcom. They have not followed my instructions by doing what I approve and obeying my rules and regulations, like Solomon's father David did.

You must obey all I command you to do, follow my instructions, do what I approve, and keep my rules and commandments, like my servant David did. Then I will be with you and establish for you a lasting dynasty, as I did for David; I will give you Israel.

I tore the kingdom away from the Davidic dynasty and gave it to you. But you are not like my servant David, who kept my commandments and followed me wholeheartedly by doing only what I approve.

This is the destiny of fools, and of those who approve of their philosophy. (Selah)

to defraud a person in a lawsuit -- the Lord does not approve of such things!

So you testify that you approve of the deeds of your ancestors, because they killed the prophets and you build their tombs!

Although they fully know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.

and know his will and approve the superior things because you receive instruction from the law,

Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God -- what is good and well-pleasing and perfect.

Then, when I arrive, I will send those whom you approve with letters of explanation to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
