Gill's Notes on the Bible
Withhold not correction from the child,.... When he has committed a fault, and correction is necessary; for to spare it is the ruin of the child, and no proof of true affection in the parent, but the reverse; see Proverbs 13:24;
for, [if] thou beatest him with a rod, he shall not die; if he be beaten moderately, there is no danger of his dying under the rod, or with the stripes given him; besides, such moderate and proper corrections may be a means of preserving him from such crimes as would bring him to a shameful and untimely death, and so he shall not die such a death; and by such means, through the grace of God, he may escape the second, or eternal death.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
i. e., âYou will not kill your son by scourging him, you may kill him by with holding the scourge.â
Proverbs 23:14
Hell - Sheol, the world of the dead.
