Perazim--In the valley of Rephaim (Sa2 5:18, Sa2 5:20; Ch1 14:11), there Jehovah, by David, broke forth as waters do, and made a breach among the Philistines, David's enemies, as Perazim means, expressing a sudden and complete overthrow. Gibeon-- (Ch1 14:16; Sa2 5:25, Margin); not Joshua's victory (Jos 10:10). strange--as being against His own people; judgment is not what God delights in; it is, though necessary, yet strange to Him (Lam 3:33). work--punishing the guilty (Isa 10:12).
