Exegesis
The phrase me'etzlo {מֵאֶצְלוֹ | mê-ʾeṣ-lō} ‘from beside him’ marks the former interlocutor, and the construct el-mul acher {אֶל־מ֣וּל אַחֵר | ʾel-mūl ʾaḥēr} ‘toward another’ establishes the new target.
In context — 1 Samuel 17:30
He turned away from beside him toward another, spoke the same thing , and the people answered him as before .
