Contextual Overview
1 Now Yitro the priest of Midyan, Moshe's father-in-law, heard about all that God had done for Moshe and for Isra'el his people, how Adonai had brought Isra'el out of Egypt. 2 After Moshe had sent away his wife Tzipporah and her two sons, Yitro Moshe's father-in-law had taken them back. 3 The name of the one son was Gershom, for Moshe had said, "I have been a foreigner in a foreign land." 4 The name of the other was Eli‘ezer [my God helps], "because the God of my father helped me by rescuing me from Pharaoh's sword." 5 Yitro Moshe's father-in-law brought Moshe's sons and wife to him in the desert where he was encamped, at the mountain of God. 6 He sent word to Moshe, "I, your father-in-law Yitro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons."

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.
