The answer
Disagree. In the Old Testament the dead go down to Sheol, the good and the wicked alike. Jacob expects to go there to his son (Genesis 37:35), and the study note on that verse says the Hebrew Bible does not recognize a separate heaven and hell. Daniel's two fates come later, at a waking, not at death (Daniel 12:2).
Why it’s interesting
Sheol was at best a shadowy existence. So Jacob's wish to go down there to his son is a measure of how deep his grief runs.
