'Down' in the Bible

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

For we have known that if our earthly house of the tabernacle may be thrown down, a building from God we have, an house not made with hands -- age-during -- in the heavens,

for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds,

reasonings bringing down, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ,

for even if also anything more abundantly I shall boast concerning our authority, that the Lord gave us for building up, and not for casting you down, I shall not be ashamed;

and through a window in a rope basket I was let down, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.

because of this, these things -- being absent -- I write, that being present, I may not treat any sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.
