BAAL-PERAZIM

(Heb. baʿal pĕrāṣîm)

The location of David’s victory over the Philistine army after he was established as king over the entire nation (2 Sam. 5:20 = 1 Chr. 14:11). Although not precisely located, the site is most likely above the valley of Rephaim, SW of Jerusalem (cf. Mt. Perazim in Isa. 28:21, an apparent allusion to David’s victory). The high ground there afforded David the tactical advantage in his battle with the Philistines in the valley below. After his victory David gave the site its name, which means “Lord of Breaches” or “Divine Outburst.”

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
