It is in Proverbs. Spare the rod, lest you spoil the child. People really need to read this correctly and realize that it is saying, Spare the rod or you will spoil your child. An abused child is a spoiled child. They become fearful with no trust. Jesus said let the little children come to me for such as this is the kingdom of heaven. I can not see the idea of spank or hit in either way. They are helpless little people that we as parents need to protect and love. Try reading Proverbs 13:24

Proverbs 13:24 says: "He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly." God says that spanking is an act of love. It is the person who fails to spank his child that is unloving! Hebrews 12:6-10 tells us that, just as earthly fathers chasten their children, so our heavenly Father chastens us. Verse 6 says, "For whom the Lord loves He chastens..." So God Himself uses chastening as an act of love. Are we wiser than God?
But why is spanking an act of love? Because love gives people what they need, and spanking is often what a child needs! Children need to learn that, if they do not submit to authority, they will suffer. If the child grows up rebelling against authority, he may be fired from his job, he may be imprisoned by the government, or he may be eternally punished by God. But if as a child he is spanked when he disobeys his parents, he will learn to submit to authority, so he will avoid much more serious problems later in life. An example of this principle is seen in some current young people, who have been raised by the permissive, don't-spank philosophy, and who as a result have no respect for God or man!

Proverbs 13:24-He that is holding back the rod is hating his son, but the one loving him is he that does look for him with discipline.
* I've found more
“Folly clings to the mind of a child; the rod will drive it away.” Prov. 22:15
Leave not your child unpunished; if you whip him, you save him from death. You must whip him with the rod, and so preserve his life.” Prov. 23:13, 14
“The rod and reproof are what give wisdom; but a boy let on the loose will be causing his mother shame.”—Proverbs 29:15.

A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

Much food is in the tillage of the poor * : but there is that is destroyed for want of judgement.

Proverbs is full of wisdom on child rearing. I can't think of the exact chapter and verse in Proverbs, but it says if you spare the rod, you spoil the child.

I will not repeat the other verses you have been given. They are good, but I would like to add this one:
"For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not." (1 Samuel 3:13)

"He who spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes" (Proverbs 13:24) and "Withhold not correction from a child: for if thou strike him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and deliver his soul from hell." (Proverbs 23:13-14)
