'Chose' in the Bible

He chose our inheritance for us, even the pride of Jacob whom he loved. Interlude

When I chose to be bitter I was emotionally pained.

Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:

But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

"LORD, you are my refuge!" Because you chose the Most High as your dwelling place,

It is Jacob whom the LORD chose for himself Israel as his personal possession.
