Context — Two Victories over the Philistines
9Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.
10So David inquired of God, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will deliver them into your hand.”
11So David and his men went up to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, God has burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place Baal-perazim.
12There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire. 13Once again the Philistines raided the valley.Cross References

1 Chronicles 14:11 Summary
[This verse shows how David trusted God to help him defeat the Philistines, and how God gave him a great victory, just like He helped the Israelites in Exodus 14:13-14. David recognized that God was the one who gave him the power to win, and he gave God the credit for it. We can learn from David's example by trusting God to help us in our own battles, whether they be big or small, and giving Him the glory for our successes, as seen in Psalm 20:7-8. By doing so, we can experience God's power and provision in our lives, just like David did at Baal-perazim.]

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 14:11
So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:11
1 Chronicles 14:11 So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.Ver. 11. Like the breaking forth of waters.] That is, saith the Chaldee Paraphrast, As water runneth out of a broken earthen vessel.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:11
(11) So they came up to Baal-perazým.—And they: that is, David and his troops. Samuel, “And David came into Baal-perazim.” The locality is unknown. The prophet Isaiah (1 Chronicles 28:21) refers to these two victories of David: “For Jehovah shall rise up as in Mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.” Such a reference proves the great moment of the events so briefly chronicled here. God hath broken in upon mine enemies.—Samuel has “Jehovah” here and in 1 Chronicles 14:10 a, and again in 1 Chronicles 14:14-15. (See Note, 1 Chronicles 13:12.) True to his character, David owns the mighty hand of God in the results of his own valour. (Comp. 1 Chronicles 17:16, sqq.) He is conscious of being God’s instrument. Contrast the haughty self-confidence of the Assyrian conqueror (Isaiah 10:5-15). By mine hand.—Samuel, “before me;” and so the Syriac and Arabic here. The Hebrew phrases are probably synonymous. (Comp. 1 Samuel 21:14, “in their hand,” i.e., before them.) In Arabic, “between the hands” means before.
Our text seems the more original here. Like the breaking forth of waters.—David’s forces probably charged down the slopes of Mount Perazim (Isaiah 28:21), like a mountain torrent, sweeping all before it. They called.—An explanation of Samuel, which has “he [i.e., one] called.” The remark indicates the antiquity of the narrative. (Comp. the frequent verbal plays of this kind in the stories of the Book of Genesis.) Baal-perazim.—Lord, or owner, of breaches, or breakings forth. “Baal” may refer to Jehovah ( comp. 1 Chronicles 9:33, Note); and perâzîm may have also meant the fissures or gullies on the mountain-side. It is the plural of the word perez (1 Chronicles 13:11).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:11
Verse 11. Like the breaking forth of waters] "And David said, The Lord hath broken the enemies of David like to the breaking of a potter's vessel full of water." - T.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 14:11
11. Baal-perazim] probably to be identified with the Mount Perazim of Isa 28:21, but the situation is unknown. like the breaking forth of waters] R.V. like the breach of waters, i.e. like the breach made by waters. Probably the scene of the victory was a hill deeply scarred with water-courses. The force with which God broke through the army of the Philistines is compared with that of a torrent breaking its way through all obstacles. Baal-perazim = the place of breakings forth (R.V. mg.).
