Context: Baal-Peratsim is a significant location mentioned in the context of King David's military victories. It is the site where David defeated the Philistines after seeking guidance from God. The name Baal-Peratsim, meaning "Lord of the Breakthroughs," commemorates the divine intervention that led to a decisive victory. The account is found in 2 Samuel 5:20 and 1 Chronicles 14:11. In 2 Samuel 5:20 (BSB), it is recorded: "So David went to Baal-Perazim and there he defeated them. He said, 'As waters break out, the LORD has broken out against my enemies before me.' So that place was called Baal-Perazim." This event highlights the belief in God's active role in delivering His people and granting them victory over their adversaries.
