Baal-perazim
(Hebrews Ba’al Peratsiml, , having rents; Sept. [at the first occurrence in Slm.] [v . r. ]), the scene of a victory of David over the Philistines, and of a great destruction of their images, and so named by him in a characteristic passage of exulting poetry- ‘Jehovah hath burst () upon mine enemies before me as a burst () of waters.’ Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim,’ i.e. bursts or destructions (2Sa 5:20; 1Ch 14:11). The place and the circumstance appear to be again alluded to in Isa 28:21, where it is called Mount Perazim. Perhaps this may indicate the previous existence of a highplace or sanctuary of Baal at this spot, which would lend more point to David’s exclamation (see Gesenius, Jes. in loc.). The Sept. render the name in its two occurrences respectively and , the latter an instance of retention of the original word and its explanation side by side; the former uncertain. SEE PERAZIM. It is important as being the only one with the prefix Baal SEE BAAL, of which we know the circumstances under which it was imposed; and yet even here it was rather an opprobrious application of a term already in use than a new name. The locality appears to have been near the valley of Rephaim, west of Jerusalem; perhaps identical with the modern Jebel Aly (Van de Velde, Map). SEE PERAZIM.

Baal-Perazim
ba-al-pe-razim, ba-al-perazim , baal peracm; ‘, Baal’pharasen, the lord of breakings through): The spot in or near the Valley of Rephaim where David obtained a signal victory over the Philistines; it was higher than Jerusalem for David asked, Shall I go up against the Philis? (2Sa 5:20; 1Ch 14:11). The exact site is unknown, but if the Vale of Rephaim is el Bekaa, the open valley between Jerusalem and Mar Elias, then Baal-perazim would probably be the mountains to the East near what is called the Mount of Evil Counsel (see JERUSALEM). The Mount Perazim of Isa 28:21 would appear to be the same spot.
