וַיָּבוֹאֽוּ פְנִימָה אֶל־חִזְקִיָּהוּ הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמְרוּ טִהַרְנוּ אֶת־כׇּל־בֵּית יְהֹוָה אֶת־מִזְבַּח הָעוֹלָה וְאֶת־כׇּל־כֵּלָיו וְאֶת־שֻׁלְחַן הַֽמַּעֲרֶכֶת וְאֶת־כׇּל־כֵּלָֽיו׃

Then they went in to Ḥizqiyyahu the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the Lord, and the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and the showbread table, with all its vessels.

Rashi

הכנו והקדשנו. מפורש בעכו"ם בפרק ר' ישמעאל כלים ששמשו בבית חניו מהו כו' עד איתיביה אשר הזניח אחז הכנו והקדשנו מאי לאו הכנו דאטבלינהו הקדשנהו דאקדשינהו אמר לו ברוך אתה לשמים שהחזרת לי אבדתי הכנו שגנזום והקדשנו שהקדשנו אחרים תחתיהם:

we have prepared and sanctified This is explained in Abodah Zarah (52b) in the chapter entitled “Rabbi Ishmael”: May vessels used in the Onias temple be used in the Temple?...He questioned him, “’That King Ahaz forsook, etc....we have prepared and sanctified.’ Does not ‘we have prepared’ mean that they immersed them and ‘sanctified’ mean that they consecrated them?” He replied, “Blessed are you to Heaven, for you have restored my loss to me. ‘We have prepared’ means that we have concealed them and ‘sanctified’ means that we consecrated others in their stead.”
