2 Chronicles 27:6

So Jotham became mighty
Having built towers and castles, and fortified cities, and conquered his enemies:

because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God;
ordered, directed, and guided them according to the word and will of God, and walked as in the sight of God, having the fear of him continually before him.

4 Moreover, he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and forts and towers on the wooded hills.

5 He fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. And the Ammonites gave him that year 100 talents of silver, and 10,000 cors of wheat and 10,000 of barley. The Ammonites paid him the same amount in the second and the third years.

6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.

7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.

8 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
