David drog opp til Ba'al-Perasim, hvor han slo dem, og han sa: "Gud har brutt gjennom mine fiender ved min hånd som gjennombrudd av vann." Derfor ble stedet kalt Ba'al-Perasim.
So they went up to Baal-perazim, and there David defeated the Philistines. He said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like a flood of water." Therefore, the place was named Baal-perazim.
