When Jonah was in the belly of the fish, why does he call it the belly of hell or Sheol in some translations?
Jonah 2:2
King James Version (KJV)
And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
The ASV renders that verse:
Jonah 2:2
American Standard Version (ASV)
And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I, And thou heardest my voice.

A great passage to show the no hellers though but normally they just ignore passages like this that show the reality of hell.
