2 Samuel 8:14 Summary
This verse tells us that David was able to defeat the Edomites and make them subject to his rule, and that God gave him victory wherever he went. This shows us that God is powerful and able to help us overcome any challenge, just like He helped David (as seen in Psalm 121:2). It also reminds us that our successes are not just because of our own strength or abilities, but because of God's power and providence working in our lives (as described in Proverbs 21:31).

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Samuel 8:14
And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Samuel 8:14
2 Samuel 8:14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’ s servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.Ver. 14. And he put garrisons in Edom.] He cast out his shoe over them, as Psalms 60:8. he set a deputy or viceroy there; and here the elder brother began to serve the younger, according to the oracle, Genesis 25:23. And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.] Neither preserved him only, but prospered him: and this is twice noted in this chapter. See 2 Samuel 8:6. Plures sunt gratiae privativae quam positivae, saith Gerson. Our deliverances are many and daily: this being the difference betwixt a godly and and a wicked man; that the former is preserved, the latter is only reserved to further punishment, as was Pharaoh Sennacherib, others. See both these in 2 Peter 2:9.
