Exegesis
A relative clause introduced by asher¹ {אֲשֶׁר־ | ăšer} ‘which’ and verb asah {עָשָׂה | ʿāśāh} ‘he did’ specifies the agent as ish-ha-elohim {אִישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִים | ʾîš-hā ʼĕlōhîm} and the time as hayom {הַיּוֹם | hayyôm}.
The second object et-had-devarim {אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים | ʾet haddəḇārîm} ‘the words’ is linked by asher² {אֲשֶׁר | ăšer} to the verb diber {דִּבֵּר | dibbēr} ‘he spoke’ and prepositional phrase el-hamelech {אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ | ʾel hammēleḵ} ‘to the king’.
In context — 1 Kings 13:11
Now there was a certain old prophet sitting in Bethel, and his sons came and recounted to him all that the man of God had done that day in Bethel, including the words that he had spoken to the king. Then they reported it all to their father .
