The Hebrew understanding of the word 'sheol', often translated 'hell' is the common grave of mankind. It is never associated with Satan or suffering. In fact, the psalmist related this about the condition of the dead:
"His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground;
In that day his thoughts do perish." (Psalm 146:4)
To which Solomon added:
"For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 9:5,6)
The Hebrews used the Greek 'hades' to represent 'sheol' in their translation of the Septuagint. And, since both death and hell (hades) are to be destroyed in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:14) and death will be no more, (Revelation 21:4), it becomes apparent that you will need to further refine your original question.
You realize, do you not, that were you to tell a 17th century Englishman to go to hell, he would think you were talking about his root cellar.
