Hades is the named domain associated with the dead, descent, confinement, and the giving up of the dead.

The occurrences present Hades as a named domain associated with the dead: it is a destination from which one is not abandoned, a place of torment, the downward counterpart to heaven, and a domain that gives up its dead. Its appearances with gates, keys, and Death further portray it as a bounded reality within the scenes described.

   The accusative forms in Acts 2:27 and Acts 2:31 occur in the clause about not being abandoned there, while the dative form in Luke 16:23 locates a man already in torment. The nominative forms in Revelation 20:13 and Revelation 20:14 are joined with death: the APB renders that they gave up the dead and were then thrown into the lake of fire. In Matthew 11:23 and Luke 10:15, the genitive form stands in the contrast between being raised to heaven and being brought down.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB consistently uses the name “Hades,” including clauses about abandonment, descent, torment, keys, and giving up the dead. These clauses show the verse-level presentation rather than assigning each surrounding English phrase directly to the term.
