Exegesis
Each clause contains the prepositional phrase el-hahar {אֶל־הָהָר | ʾel-hā-hār} ‘on the hill’ modified by the demonstrative mizeh {מִזֶּה | miz-zeh} ‘from this’, specifying location on opposite sides.
In context — 1 Samuel 17:3
The Philistines held their ground on the hill on one side, and Israel held the hill on the other side, with the valley between them.
