You could try doing this:
1) www.biblegateway.com
2) keyword search for "Hell"
3) Read all the passages that come up
That should keep you busy for a bit :)
Also, i'd strong advise reading the verses around the verse quoted, or even the chapter, it'll help place better context on what your reading

Hell is eternal separation from God. Look from the back of the bible the concordance nd a key word Hell.

The Greeks invented it and the early Christians stole it for their own purpose.

The Devil, it seems needed a place to call home and the Catholics needed a fear factor to keep people in line, much like our current excuse for a government needs fear to keep us misdirected from what they are really doing.

The really cool thing is that, if you rely on the KJV as the inerrant word of god, Heaven is hotter by 179 degrees F than Hell! Cool huh?

Get your Bible and look in the concordance...there will be a lot of references to hell there. Then go online and look up the word "Hel". I promise you will find it very interesting reading and the parallels to the Christian "hell" will amaze you....Blessings!

I have a little information from an Expository Dictionary:

from Vine's Expository Dictionary
Sheol
(Strong's 7585)

The 65 occurances of this word are distributed throughout every period of biblical Hebrew.

First, the word means a state of death: "For in death there is no rememberance of thee: in the grave, who shall give thee thanks?" (Psalm 6:5; cf. 18:5). It is the final resting place of all men: "They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave (Job 21:13). Hanna confessed that it was the omnipotent God who brings men to sheol (death) or kills them (1Samuel 2:6). "Sheol" is parallel to Hebrew words for "pit" or "hell" (Job 26:6). "corruption" or "decay" (Psalm 16:10), and "destruction" (Proverbs 15:11).

Second, "Sheol" is used of a place of conscious existence after death. In the first biblical appearance of the word Jacob said that he would "go down into the grave unto my son mourning" (Genesis 37:35). All men go to "Sheol" --- a place and state of consciousness after death (Psalm 16:10). The wicked recieve punishment there (Numbers 16:30); Deuteronomy 32:22; Psalm 9:17). They are put to shame and silenced in "Sheol" (Psalm 31:17). Jesus alluded to Isaiah's use of sheol (14:13-15) in pronouncing judgement on Capernaum (Matthew 11:23), translating:Sheol" as "Hades" or "Hell," meaning the place of conscious existence and judgement. It is an undesirable place for the wicked (Job 24:19) and a refuge for the righteous (Job 14:13). Thus "Sheol" is also a place of reward for the righteous (Hosea 13:14; cf. 1 Corinthians 15:55). Jesus' teaching in Luke 16:19-31 seems to reflect accurately the Old Testament concept of Sheol, it is a place of conscious existence after death, one side of which is occupied by the suffering. unrighteous dead separated by a great chasm from the other side peopled by the righteous dead enjoying their reward.

You'd better read the Bible, because if you don't, you'll have first hand knowledge of Hell after your death.

Jesus spoke more on Hell than he did of Heaven.
