Son of Moses	Eliezer was Moses and Zipporah's second son. His name means "God is help" in Hebrew. The verse in the book of Exodus (18:4) states: ť "The name of the (other son) son was Eliezer, because 'My father's God (Eli) was my helper (ezer), rescuing me from Pharaoh's sword." Both Gershom and Eliezer were born during the time Moses had fled from Egypt and had taken refuge in Midian and had married Jethro's daughter Zipporah.
Eliezer of Damascus:	There is also an Eliezer known as Eliezer of Damascus (Hebrew: דַּמֶּשֶׂק אֱלִיעֶזֶר, Standard Damméseq Eliʿézer, Tiberian Damméśeq ʾĔlîʿézer),head of the patriarch Abraham's household mentioned in the book of Genesis (15:2): ť "Abram said, 'O Lord, God, what will you give me if I remain childless? The heir to my household will be Eliezer (of) Damascus'. According to most opinions the nameless servant in Genesis 24, who searched for a bride for Isaac, was this Eliezer. There is also an interpretation, cited for example by Rashi, that Eliezer went alone with Abraham to rescue Lot, with the reference to 318 men (Genesis 14:14) being the numerical value of Eliezer's name in Hebrew.
Prophet Eliezer	A prophet, son of Dodavah, rebuked king Jehosophat for aligning himself with Ahaziah the King of Israel. He and Ahaziah built ships in Tarnish. The ships all sank due to his not relying on the Lord.
