Abraham was chosen by God because of his faith and obedience. God saw that Abraham would trust Him and follow His commands, making him a suitable vessel to carry out God's plan for the world.
Abraham is an important person in the first part of the Bible. He was chosen by God to seek out the Promised Land.
God chose Israel as His chosen people because of His covenant with Abraham, who demonstrated great faith and obedience.

Israel was chosen to be a light to the world and to demonstrate God's power, love, and faithfulness to all people.
That depends upon what you mean by "chosen." Noah was chosen (with his family) by God, to survive the Flood (Genesis 6), but not for a Divine covenant of status for his descendants. Abraham was chosen by God to father a nation that would serve God and have His covenant forever (Genesis 17). It eventually became clear that out of Abraham's children and grandchildren, only Isaac and Jacob (and Jacob's descendants) would continue in God's covenant (Genesis 26 and 28). Jacob fathered the Israelites.
God chose the descendants of Abraham and Isaac as the "chosen" people.

In Genesis 22:1-19 Abraham was tested by God to see if he would be willing to sacrifice his son. The son's name was Isaac. Abraham took two of his servants along with Isaac; and Isaac carried wood to the site designated by God.

Abraham was the ancestor of the Arabs, the Israelites, the Idumeans, and other peoples. However, only Isaac was considered Abraham's true successor (Genesis 17:21 and 21:12).

In the Old Testament, leaders of Israel chosen by God included Moses, who led the Israelites out of Egypt, and Joshua, who succeeded Moses and led the Israelites into the Promised Land. Later on, there were judges like Samuel and prophets like Samuel or David who were chosen by God to lead the nation of Israel.
The forefathers of the Jews were Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (later renamed Israel).
God established a special relationship with Abraham (Genesis ch.12 and ch.17) because Abraham had, from his earliest years, chosen to serve God and preach against idolatry (before having received any sign from God).
