Is there scripture to confirm that Jesus spent time in Hades after the crucifixion and before the resurrection?

No. Jesus fulfilled the law, by His life, paid for our sins by His one blood sacrifice for the sins of the whole world, and when He died he went to Paradise.
He told the thief on the cross, today you will be with me in paradise. In the center of the earth. Jesus did not ascend to heaven until 40 days after He was resurrected.
All of the old testament saints went to paradise. Jesus took them out of paradise to heaven. But only their souls. We have no resurrected bodies yet. That will happen when Christ comes for the church and we go to meet him in the clouds. First Thessalonians 4:13-18 and First Corinthians 15:51-53.
Jesus paid our sin debt in full on the cross. He did not go to hell.

You could refer to the following:
Ecclesiasticus 24:45,
Psalm 23:7,
Zech 9:11,
Hosea 13:14,
Acts 2:24,
Ephesians 4:9,
Colossians 2:15,
1 Peter 3:19

Absolutely, Alan. Also I found these verses, Matthew 12:40, Romans 10:7, and Hebrews 13:20.
A question, could you quote,me Ecclesiasticus 24:45? My Jerusalem Bible, somehow has eliminated that verse... Thanks...Blessings!
