Because we live under another covenant, not everything applies.

Example: Do you know why there was so much violence in the old testiment? It was because no one went to hell in the old OT. So punishment for sin was carried out here on earth. So evil was punished with death.

Today, because Christ took the keys of death, hell, and the grave. When people die, they go straight to where they are supposed to which means the punishment for evil-sin is after death not before it. This is what Christ reversed when He died and rose from the dead. This is also why the Lord also said: Vengence is mine saith the Lord. This is because vengence is to no longer be taken out on earth.

So what happened to people when they died in the OT?

Deut 31:16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

2 Sam 7:12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

1 Kings 1:21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.

Sleeping with the fathers is considered soul sleep. Your soul did not leave earth. It stayed in the ground with your body.

This is also why people were rewarded with things from Heaven more in the OT than the NT because no one went to heaven after they died in the OT.
