If the dead are in such disgrace, is death better than life?!

1.

Rashi: Yes - affliction of life will be greater, and they will prefer death.

2.

Radak: The remnant who were not killed, they will be exiled. In their exile, they will prefer death to life, for they will be slaves to a base, cruel nation that will not have mercy on them.

Which family is this?

1.

Malbim: It is one that served idolatry.

3)

What is the meaning of "b'Chol ha'Mekomos ha'Nish'arim Asher Hidachtim"?

1.

Radak: It is wherever the remaining will be. Re-arrange the words (put ha'Nish'arim first) - ha'Nish'arim b'Chol ha'Mekomos Asher Hidachtim. This is like "va'Tasem ba'Puch Eineha" (Melachim II, 9:30; it means va'Tasem Puch b'Eineha (she put mascara on her eyes). "V'Chol ha'Aretz Ba'u Mitzraimah Lishbor El Yosef" (Bereishis 41:57) - Ba'u Mitzraimah El Yosef Lishbor. "Li Yiz'aku Elokai Yeda'anucha Yisrael" (Hoshe'a 8:2) - Li Yiz'aku Yisrael Elokai Yeda'anucha and similar verses.

2.

Malbim: It will be the same in Chutz la'Aretz; there will be no difference.
