'Appointed' in the Bible

Now Absalom had appointed Amasa over the army in Joab’s place. Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra the Israelite; Ithra had married Abigail daughter of Nahash. Abigail was a sister to Zeruiah, Joab’s mother.

David reviewed his troops and appointed commanders of hundreds and of thousands over them.

You have freed me from the feuds among my people;You have appointed me the head of nations;a people I had not known serve me.

So the Lord sent a plague on Israel from that morning until the appointed time, and from Dan to Beer-sheba 70,000 men died.
