Why were the people from Seir given God's protection from the Israelites in Genesis?

The question isn't completely accurate.
In Genesis (ch.14), the four invading kings (none of whom were Israelites) are unable to conquer the people of Seir completely.
In Numbers (ch.21), God forbids the Israelites to interfere with the Edomites, who are traditionally identified with Seir (see Genesis 36:8).
In both cases, God sees to it that the land of Seir (or part of it) should remain as is. The reason for this is that the land of Seir was preserved for the sake of Esau, who settled in there (in Genesis ch.36). Although not an Israelite, Esau received a modicum of God's favor since he was a grandson of Abraham and had been given a blessing by Isaac (Genesis ch.27).
