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.

Advanced Rashi:
Note the unusual feature that Rashi's comment is on the referenced
verse rather than on the target verse itself.
