Bill,
KJV, may not be the best version to use in respect to the word "Hades" and the possible best meanings. Jim Minkler gives an example:Mt 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

The gates of Hades: The Roman mythological god in charge of the underworld … or that same old perception of the power of death that has followed man from the very beginning? How do you think our modern “Christian” preachers of hell and damnation would take to the reference of “Pluto” or “Orcus” or even “Hades” or “the grave” or “death”, instead of “hell”? But, of course, we know that our “Christian” version called “Hell” is the only true “Biblical” one, don’t we? I suspect that our modern “Christian” perceptions often cause us to trip over some of the most obvious stuff written in the Bible.

1Cor 15:55
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

Notice that the KJV conveniently translated the Greek “Hades” in this verse as “grave”. Did God inspire them to translate it differently here or was it a little too obvious that “hell” didn’t fit as well? Consider this verse in view of the one about “the gates of hell”: Death and Hades are sitting side by side here in this statement quoted by the prophet, Hosea (13:14).
