The Bible says that Jesus was dead in the grave until God resurrected him on the third day (Matthew 16:21)(Matthew 17:23)(Luke 24:46)(Acts 3:15) .
King David was used to write many of the prophecies about the coming Messiah. One of these is mentioned at Psalm 16:8-11 where it says: "...because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." (KJV)(Ps 15:8-10DRA). Peter later applied this prophecy to Jesus (Acts 2:22-32) .
Sheol in Hebrew/ Hades in Greek, are the words translated 'hell' in many translations . They actually mean 'the grave' .
We can see this again in the account of Jonah and the fish, which also PRE-figured the death of the Messiah(Matthew 16:4). When Jonah was swallowed by the fish, he called out to God "from the belly of Hell"(KJV/DRA), 'from the belly of Sheol'(ASV/ESV), 'from the 'realm of the dead'(NIV), and, like Jesus, Jonah was in 'his grave'(for all intents and purposes) until God rescued him after parts of three days(Jonah 1:17/Matthew 12:40/ Luke 11:30).
The same thing happens at Psalm 30:3 where different Bibles translate the word 'Sheol' different ways:
"thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive..."(ASV)(ESV).
"thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive..."(KJV)
"You,LORD, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me.."(NIV)
In the end, they all mean the 'common grave of mankind' or Gravedom, and Jesus was there until his resurrection.
