2 SAMUEL 5:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And 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.”
So David came to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there — David's victory at Baal-perazim (House of Bursting Forth) is decisive. The name suggests that David's forces burst through Philistine lines. 'The LORD has burst forth against my enemies before me, like a bursting flood!' — David's exclamation recognizes divine action in the victory.
