'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.

But he chose the tribe of Judah, the mountain of Zion, which he loves.

Then he chose his servant David, whom he took from the sheepfold.

"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.
