Contextual Overview
1 Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, the religious leader of Midian, heard about all that God had done for Moses and for Israel His people. He heard about how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt. 2 Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, had taken Moses' wife, Zipporah, after Moses had sent her away. 3 And he had taken her two sons. One was given the name Gershom, for he said, "I have been a stranger in a strange land." 4 The other was given the name Eliezer, for he said, "The God of my father was my help. And He saved me from the sword of Pharaoh." 5 Then Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, came to Moses with his sons and his wife to the desert by the mountain of God where he was staying. 6 He sent the news to Moses, "I, your father-in-law, Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the name of the other was Eliezer,.... Who seems to be his second son, and was that which was circumcised by Zipporah at the inn, and about which there was such a stir, Exodus 4:24, and signifies "my God [is] help", or, his helper:
for the God of my father, [said he], was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh; who, on hearing that Moses had killed an Egyptian, was wroth with him, and sought to slay him; and perhaps drew his sword for that purpose, but was prevented: however, this, in all human probability, would have been the case, that he would have fallen by his sword either in a private or public manner, had it not been for the interposition of divine Providence, and therefore he gave this name to his child, to be a standing memorial of it.
