'Select' in the Bible

So Saul said to his servants, "Please select a man {who plays a stringed instrument well} and bring [him] to me."

So Saul took three thousand select men from all Israel and went to find David and his men in the region of the rocks of the mountain goats.

So Saul rose and went down with 3,000 select men of Israel to the Wilderness of Ziph, to look for David in the Wilderness of Ziph.
