'Down' in the Bible

persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

and I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and so escaped his hands.

For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
