What is Hades in the Bible?
Greek "hades"
When the Jews translated the Hebrew Bible into the Greek Koine (common), known as the Septuagint (symbol LXX), they used the Greek term Hades common in Greek mythology 61 times to refer to the kingdom of the dead, but there is no evidence that share all the mythological conceptions about Hades, mainly its personification in the god Hades.
Following the tradition of the Septuagint (LXX), Christians, in producing the so-called Greek New Testament, used the word Hades to refer to the underworld of the dead, especially when they quoted the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament to translate the word Sheol. Like Jews, Christians borrowed only the general meaning of Hades as the world of the dead, but there is no evidence in the New Testament or early Christians that they used the word with the same Greek mythological idea.

What does Sheol mean in the Bible?
The main Hebrew word used to refer to the world of the dead is Sheol. The origin of the term Sheol is uncertain and all attempts to do so have been frustrated or doubtful. Biblical scholar Eugene H. Merrill claims that the Sumerian and Akkadian languages attest to šu'āru or the alternative term šu'âlû, but most scholars reject any relationship between these words and Sheol.
The Hebrew Bible uses the term Sheol (65 times) to refer to the underworld of the dead portrayed as a deep, dark abyss. In the Bible the term is strictly related to the abyss and the grave. "According to the thinking of the ancient Israelites, a dark and silent abyss located in the depths of the earth, where all people went after they died."
Sheol is the preferred term of poetic texts, since except for eight passages in the OT, all the others occur in poetic texts. Sheol is the grave or abode of all the dead without distinction. In many instances of the word it is not a desirable place to go, except when it is preferable to great suffering here in the land of the living. But the teaching that it was a place of fire and torment for the wicked is completely absent as in the current idea of hell.
However, Jesus in Luke 16:19-30 makes a distinction. Hades is the torment place where the wicked, unbeliever goes to (the rich man for I am in anguish in this flame). The poor Lazarus goes after his death to paradise, the place where father Abraham is. No one can cross the great chasm between Hades and paradise.
