Baal = God?

So David went to Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there.  “The Lord did it!” David exclaimed.  “He burst through my enemies like a raging flood!”  So he named that place Baal-perazim (which means “the Lord who bursts through”).  [II Samuel 5.20]

Baal-perazim means the Lord who bursts through.  It seems odd to me that the word "Baal" would be used for God here!

I suppose however, a lot of people use the word God to mean many different things too.

Father, help me to consider Who You are and worship only You!
