ba`al peratsim; Baal'pharasein, ("the lord of breakings
through"): The spot in or near the Valley of Rephaim where David
obtained a signal victory over the Philistines; it was higher
than Jerusalem for David asked, "Shall I go up against the
Philis?" (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. E. W. G.
