R’ Chaim Tirer zt”l of Tchernovitz (Be’er Mayim Chaim) would say: “'ויחד יתרו' - Pharaoh had three advisors, Iyov, Yisro and Bilaam. Bilaam suggested the idea of drowning all newborn Jewish boys. Iyov was silent. Yisro ran away. In the end, Bilaam was killed, Iyov endured his famous sufferings (Yisurim), and Yisro was rewarded to have Moshe as his son-in-law and his descendants as members of the Sanhedrin (Sotah 11a). When Yisro heard of the rescue of Klal Yisroel through the drowning of Egyptians, he was happy for the good Hashem did for the Jewish people. In addition, he was happy and grateful that Hashem had given him the idea to run away from Pharaoh. Thanks to this, he was prevented from suffering or perishing together with the Egyptians.”
