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 into the LORD's temple to make it pure. They brought out to the temple courtyard everything that was "unclean." They had found "unclean" things in the LORD's temple. The Levites took them and carried them out to the Kidron Valley.

17 On the first day of the first month they began to set everything in the temple apart to the Lord. By the eighth day of the month they reached the LORD's porch. For eight more days they set the LORD's temple itself apart to him. They finished on the 16th day of the first month.

18 Then they went to King Hezekiah. They reported, "We've purified the whole temple of the Lord. That includes the altar for burnt offerings and all of its tools. It also includes the table for the holy bread and all of its articles.

19 We've prepared all of the articles King Ahaz had removed. We've set them apart to the Lord. Ahaz had removed them while he was king. He wasn't faithful to the Lord. The articles are now in front of the LORD's altar."

20 Early the next morning King Hezekiah gathered the city officials together. They went up to the LORD's temple.
