Verse Ex18-04 discussing that Moses named his son God-Help states And the name of the other was Eliezer [God-Helped]; because the God of my father, said he, was my help, and saved me from the sword of Pharaoh; Rashi clarifies the underlined words saved me from the sword of Pharaoh by referencing verse Ex02-15b which states And when Pharaoh heard this matter [that Moses had killed an Egyptian], he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well. Hence the Rashi comment: The underlined phrase he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled clarifies why Moses states that God saved me from the sword of Pharaoh.
