Where is "b'Rosh ha'Karmel"?
Rashi: The top of towers of great cities.
Radak: They are caves at the top of Karmel in which people can hide. Malbim - there were big caves and tunnels there.
Will Hashem search for them?
Rashi citing Targum Yonasan: From there I will appoint scavengers, and they will find them.
What is "b'Karka ha'Yam"?
Rashi citing Targum Yonasan: They are islands. Malbim - they are desolate, scattered islands that people do not go to there.
The floor of the sea 1 .
It seems that Radak explains so; afterwards, he says that Yonason explains that they are islands. How can man live on the sea floor? Perhaps they will build waterproof houses on the floor. However, Radak explained that Hashem will send a whale to bite them. First it must destroy the house - this would suffice to kill the people! (PF)
Will Hashem command a snake to bite them?
Rashi citing Targum Yonasan: I will appoint nations strong like a snake [and they will kill them].
Radak: This is the great sea serpent - a whale.
Malbim: Yes.
