What Kahal will ascend against you?

1.

Radak: It is those mentioned above (lovers and haters - 37) from other nations. It says "v'He'elu", for Eretz Yisrael is higher than all other lands.

2)

What is the significance of stoning her?

1.

Radak: This is like the law of adulterers, who are stoned. They will not kill them. Also "va'Yirgem Oso? Even" (Yehoshua 7:25) regarding Achan (they did not kill him). After the Mashal "v'Hishbatich mi'Zonah" (41), it discusses a Zonah who was stoned and stabbed, and they burned her house. All of these judgments were to disgrace and shame her, so she will be lowly and disgrace in the eyes of all, and men will not come to be Mezanah with her. Bal Korchah (against her will), she will cease to be a Zonah. Even if she will give an Esnan, they will not be with her, for she will remain lowly and disgraced in everyone's eyes.

2.

Radak (according to the Nimshal): This refers to destroying the walls. They cast catapult rocks and make a bulwark of big rocks against the wall to topple it, like it says about the wall of Chareshes ? "va'Yasobu ha'Kela'im va'Yakuha" (Melachim II, 3:25).

3.

Malbim: They will sentence and execute you amidst a great congregation. It lists the four executions that Beis Din administers ? stoning, burning ("v'Sarfu Batayich ba'Esh" ? 41), the sword ("u'Vitekuch b'Charvosam") and choking. Also refer to 16:43:5:3.
