2 Chronicles 29:18

Then they went in to Hezekiah the king
In his palace: and said, we have cleansed all the house of the Lord;
the several parts of it, and apartments belonging to it: and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof;
which they cleansed and scoured, and put in their proper place, and which Ahaz had removed: and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof;
which had lain neglected and profaned, but were now put in order.

2 Chronicles 29:18 In-Context

16 The priests went to the entrance of the Lord's temple to cleanse it. They took all the detestable things they found in the Lord's sanctuary to the courtyard of the Lord's temple. Then the Levites received them and took them outside to the Kidron Valley.

17 They began the consecration on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the vestibule of the Lord's [temple]. They consecrated the Lord's temple for eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.

18 Then they went inside to King Hezekiah and said, "We have cleansed the whole temple of the Lord, the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the table for the rows [of the bread of the Presence] and all its utensils.

19 All the utensils that King Ahaz rejected during his reign when he became unfaithful we have set up and consecrated. They are in front of the altar of the Lord."

20 King Hezekiah got up early, gathered the city officials, and went up to the Lord's temple.
