Sheol and Abaddon are before YHVH: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
Proverbs 15:11
Sheol isn't what we normally think of as "Hell", but the grave where the dead await judgment.
Abaddon is probably correctly translated as destruction in the KJV. It's also used in the Psalms, Job, and Revelation, where it is applied to "the angel of the bottomless pit". I believe this word refers to the Lake of Fire into which Sheol and death will one day be cast and destroyed.
Sheol, Abaddon, and death (mavet) all go together.

On that, I understand Rev 20 that not all sinners are thrown into the bottomless pit. Satan, his angels, those who accepted the mark and death are thrown into it.
So where does it leave sinner?
We are warned to fear Him who can destroy both body and spirit, so it is possible to be totally destroyed or else everyone already has everlasting life. Some for good rewards and some for sorrow as no one completely dies according to church doctrine (think "heaven" and everlasting torture...).
So when Ezekiel says that on the New Earth those who die younger than 100 years of age are considered accursed; then there is another form of death on the New Earth. 🤔
Or is that again a scribal error in Ezekiel?
