Name given by David to a place in Judah near the valley of Rephaim, where he defeated an army of the Philistines. It signifies “place of breaches,” margin (2 Sam. 5:20²⁰And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, The Lord hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim. (2 Samuel 5:20); 1 Chron. 14:11¹¹So they came up to Baal-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim. (1 Chronicles 14:11)).
