Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Prov 13:24

“He that spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes.”

“spareth--or, "withholds." rod--of correction. hateth--or, acts as if he hated him (compare Pro 3:12; Pro 8:36). chasteneth . . . betimes--or, "diligently seeks for him all useful discipline."”
