Script Preparation code:

var a1 = ['', '1231237', '', '', '', '', 'ergre', '', '', '', '', 'asdf1134', '', '', '123'];
var a2 = ['1231237', '123', '1231237', '123', '1231237', '', '123sdfsdf', 'sdfsdf'],
    result,
    a1 = a1.flatMap((s, i) => i % 2 ? a1 : a2),
    a2 = a2.flatMap((s, i) => i % 2 ? a2 : a1);

Tests:

Array.map().filter(Boolean)
result = a1.map(s => a2.includes(s) && s).filter(Boolean);
Array.flatMap()
result = a1.flatMap(s => s && a2.includes(s) ? [s] : []);
Array.reduce()
result = a1.reduce((acc, s) => (s && a2.includes(s) ? [...acc, s] : acc), []);
