Perazim
The prophet Isaiah warns that the Lord will rise against his own people the way he once rose up at Mount Perazim. The earlier victory there is almost certainly David's battle with the Philistines.

Mount Perazim appears once, in Isaiah 28:21, where the prophet warns that the Lord will rise against his own people as unexpectedly as he once rose against the Philistines there. That earlier victory is almost certainly the battle of Baal-perazim, where David broke through the Philistine lines in the Valley of Rephaim near Jerusalem and named the site "the Lord who breaks through" (2 Samuel 5:20). Isaiah's point is that God's coming judgment on Judah will feel just as sudden and decisive, an alien work compared to his usual saving acts.
