Baal-Perazim

From BibleEncyclopedia.Net

bā-al-pē̇-rā´zim, bā-al-per´azim (בּעל־פרצים, ba‛al perācīm; Βααλ'φαρασείν, Baal'pharaseín, “the lord of breakings through,” or "Baal having rents, bursts, or destructions"):

The spot in or near the Valley of Rephaim, west of Jerusalem where David obtained a signal victory over the Philistines; it was higher than Jerusalem for David asked, “Shall I go up against the Philistines?” (2 Samuel 5:20; 1 Chronicles 14:11). The exact site is unknown, but if the Vale of Rephaim is el Beka‛a, 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 Isaiah 28:21 would appear to be the same spot. Identified with the modern Jebel Aly.
