Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Chronicles 17:8

"and I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast gone, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in the earth." — 1 Chronicles 17:8 (ASV)

Wherever you have walked. —Same phrase as in 1 Chronicles 17:6, “wheresoever,” i.e., throughout your whole career.

And have cut off all your enemies. —This appears to refer not merely to the death of Saul and the overthrow of his house, but also to the successful conclusion of some of the wars recorded in the following chapters. (Compare also 1 Chronicles 14:8–17.)

And have made you. —Rather, and I will make you.

The great men. —The sovereigns of Egypt and Babylon, of Tyre, and the Hittite states.
