About Baal-perazim
A location near Jerusalem where a battle was fought between Israel’s newly anointed King David and the Philistines (2 Samuel 5:20; 1 Chronicles 14:11). David named the area Baal-perazim to remember the Lord’s “breaking through” his enemies, since the phrase means the “lord of breaking through.” Isaiah 28:21 references Mount Perazim, where the Lord came “suddenly and in anger.” This may recall David’s battle with the Philistines.
