Eliezer

Eliezer of Damascus (Hebrew: דַּמֶּשֶׂק אֱלִיעֶזֶר, romanized: Damméseq ʾĔliʿezer) was, according to Targum Jonathan Bereishit, 14:14, the son of Nimrod.

But Abram said, “O lord יהוה, what can You give me, seeing that I shall die childless, and the one in charge of my household is Dammesek Eliezer!”[1]Medieval biblical exegetes have explained the noun ben mešeq as meaning "butler; steward; overseer",[2] while the name Damméseq Eliʿézer is explained by Targum Onkelos as meaning "Eliezer the Damascene."

[3] There is an interpretation in Genesis Rabbah (43:2), cited by Rashi, that Eliezer went alone with Abraham to rescue Lot, about "his initiates" stated to be 318 in number (Genesis 14:14) being the numerical value of Eliezer's name in Hebrew, interpreted in tractate Nedarim (32a) as Abraham not wishing to rely on a miracle by taking only one individual.

[4] According to most interpretations, the unnamed "senior servant of (Abraham's) household, who had charge of all that he owned," in Genesis 24:2, who obtained Rebecca as a bride for Isaac, was the same Eliezer.

The verse in the Exodus 18:4 states, "[T]he other was named Eliezer, meaning, 'The God of my father’s [house] was my help, delivering me from the sword of Pharaoh.'"
