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
