2 Samuel 2:24 belongs to the record of internal strife during the establishment of David's reign. It stands within the long conflict between Judah and Israel as rival centers of power. Specifically it falls in the time when David was reigning at Hebron yet did not hold the kingdom peaceably, because Saul's son and his army were still attempting to hold the kingdom by force.
It belongs to the account of the political changes that led to David becoming king over all Israel. Abner's break with Ish-bosheth, followed by the deaths of Abner and Ish-bosheth, preceded the union of the kingdom under David. These events unfolded amid God's purpose to bring David to the throne.
