Baal-perazim
Ba'al-Perazim was a place in ancient Israel.
It was the scene of a victory gained by David over the Philistines. It is called Mount Perazim in Isaiah 28:21. It was near the Valley of Rephaim, west of Jerusalem.
Some scholars suggest a site 4 km northwest of Jerusalem, named Sheikh Bodr, to be identical with Ba'al-Perazim.
There is also a valley near Mount Sodom in the Judaean Desert, called "Wadi Perazim".
Etymology
It is not certain whether the occurrence in 2 Sam.5:20 name is:- a word play - David is punning on an existing local name.
- an anachronism - such as "Abraham came to Dan" Genesis 14:14.
If the reference is to Mt. Perazim in Isaiah 28 then that suggests a mountain with a high ground position for David to attack. Alternatively, since David says "Yahweh burst-through" "like bursting of waters" it may be a reference to waters.
