Exegesis
The purpose of the choice is expressed by lamed + infinitive: lāśûm {לָשׂוּם | lāśûm} ‘to set,’ governing ʾet-šəmô {אֶת־שְׁמוֹ | ʾet-šəmô} ‘His name,’ with šām {שָׁם | šām} ‘there’ and the partitive phrase mikkōl šivtê yiśrāʾēl {מִכֹּל שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | mikkōl šivtê yiśrāʾēl} ‘from all the tribes of Israel’ highlighting the exclusivity of Jerusalem’s selection.
In context — 1 Kings 14:21
And Rehoboam , the son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. Forty-one years old was Rehoboam when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD chose from all the tribes of Israel to set His Name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.
