Contextual Overview
17"But as the time [for the fulfillment] of the promise which God had made to Abraham was approaching, the [Hebrew] people increased and multiplied in Egypt, 18until [the time when] THERE AROSE ANOTHER KING OVER EGYPT WHO DID NOT KNOW JOSEPH [nor his history and the merit of his service to Egypt]. 19"He shrewdly exploited our race and mistreated our fathers, forcing them to expose their [male] babies so that they would die. 20"It was at this [critical] time that Moses was born; and he was lovely in the sight of God, and for three months he was nourished in his father's house. 21"Then when he was set outside [to die], Pharaoh's daughter rescued him and claimed him for herself, and cared for him as her own son. 22"So Moses was educated in all the wisdom and culture of the Egyptians, and he was a man of power in words and deeds. 23"But when he reached the age of forty, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the sons of Israel. 24"And when he saw one [of them] being treated unfairly, he defended the oppressed man and avenged him by striking and killing the Egyptian. 25"He expected his countrymen to understand that God was granting them freedom through him [assuming that they would accept him], but they did not understand.26"Then on the next day he suddenly appeared to two of them as they were fighting, and he tried to reconcile them, saying, 'Men, you are brothers; why do you wrong one another?'

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For he supposed his brethren would have understood him,.... From his being an Hebrew in such high life; from his wonderful birth, and miraculous preservation in his infancy, and education in Pharaoh's court; and from the promise of God that he would visit them and save them:
how that God by his hand would deliver them: wherefore he was the more emboldened to kill the Egyptian, believing that his brethren would make no advantage of it against him; but look upon it as a beginning and pledge of their deliverance by him:
but they understood not; or "him not", as the Ethiopic version reads; they did not understand that he was to be their deliverer, or that this action of his was a token of it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For he supposed - This is not mentioned by Moses; but it is not at all improbable. When they saw him “alone” contending with the Egyptian; when it was understood that he had come and taken vengeance on one of their oppressors, it might have been presumed that he regarded himself as directed by God to interpose, and save the people.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 7:25. He supposed his brethren would have understood, c.] He probably imagined that, as he felt from the Divine influence he was appointed to be their deliverer, they would have his Divine appointment signified to them in a similar way and the act of justice which he now did in behalf of his oppressed countryman would be sufficient to show them that he was now ready to enter upon his office, if they were willing to concur.
