1 Chronicles 14:17 Summary
This verse, 1 Chronicles 14:17, tells us that David became famous and that God made all the nations afraid of him. This happened because God was with David and was helping him, as we see in 1 Samuel 18:14. It's like when God is with us and helps us, people can see that and it can make them respect and even fear us, not because of who we are, but because of who God is and what He is doing in our lives, as seen in Deuteronomy 10:17 and Psalm 24:1-2.

How did the LORD cause all nations to fear David?

Is David's fame a result of his own efforts or God's work in his life?
David's fame is a result of God's work in his life, as stated in 1 Chronicles 14:17, where it says 'the LORD caused all nations to fear him', indicating that God is the one who is ultimately responsible for David's reputation and influence.

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 14:17
[See comments on 1 Chronicles 14:1].
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 14:17
And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations. And the fame of David went out into all lands , [ bªkaal (H3605) haa'ªraatsowt (H776), into all the lands].
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:17
Into all lands, i.e. into all the neighbouring countries.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:17
1 Chronicles 14:17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.Ver. 17. And the Lord brought the fear of him.] He grew terrible to his enemies. So did Hunniades, Scanderbeg, Charles V, &c., ita et parentes liberis plorantibus silentium non aliter imperarent quam horum praesentiam minitando: so that mothers stilled their children by these men’ s names.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:17
(17) This verse is not in Samuel. It looks like a concluding reflection of the chronicler’s, similar to 2 Chronicles 17:10; 2 Chronicles 20:29. The fame of David went out.—David’s name. The same phrase recurs in 2 Chronicles 26:15. All lands.—All the lands. (Comp. Psalms 19:4.) And the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.—Yet this fear was, as we should say, the natural effect of his victories. In the view of the chronicler, David’s success in arms, with all its consequences, was the work of Jehovah. The Hebrew phrase is similar to that in Esther 8:17.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:17
Verse 17. Into all lands] That is, all the surrounding or neighbouring lands and nations, for no others can possibly be intended.
