What does 2 Samuel 5:20 mean?

David went up to Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there. He said, 'God broke through my enemies like water breaking through a dam.' That's why that place is called Baal-perazim. 2 Samuel 5:20 - Modern Text Bible

(David recognizes that the victory wasn't just military skill—it was God breaking through the enemy lines, unstoppable and overwhelming.)
