Where is Baal-perazim in the Bible?
Baal-perazim was a location in ancient Judah near Jerusalem where King David achieved a significant military victory against the Philistines, as recorded in 2 Samuel 5:20 and 1 Chronicles 14:11. The exact site remains unknown, but scholars believe it was located in or near the Vale of Rephaim, an open valley between Jerusalem and the surrounding hills, possibly in the mountains to the east near what is traditionally called the "Mount of Evil Counsel." This victory is theologically significant as it marked David's establishment of power after becoming king and demonstrated God's support for his reign. The mountain is also referenced in Isaiah 28:21 as Mount Perazim, connecting this location to later biblical prophecy.

ISBE 1915 (Public Domain)gher than Jerusalem for David asked, "Shall I go up against the Philis?" (2Sa 5:20; 1Ch 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 Isa 28:21 would appear to be the same spot.
