‏ 1 Chronicles 12:38-40

with a perfect heart The meaning of this expression may be inferred from that of a double heart in 1Chr 12:33. If a double heart be expressive of insincerity or duplicity, a perfect heart, which seems to be put in opposition to it, must signify a sincere, faithful, and entire attachment. 1Kgs 8:61, 1Kgs 11:4; 2Kgs 20:3; Ps 101:2

From the mention of oil, figs, and raisins, Mr. Harmer thinks that this assembly was held in autumn. 2Sam 16:1, 2Sam 17:27-29
