The lexica agree on the sense. BDB glosses the verb "push, thrust," and the range it maps is the one the occurrences show: an assailant's shove (Psa 118:13; 140:4), a participle of driving an enemy along in flight (Psa 35:5), a passive participle describing a wall or fence that has been pushed in (Psa 62:3), and the passive forms used of the wicked being brought down (Psa 36:12; Prov 14:32; Jer 23:12). HALOT and DCH cover the same distribution, and TWOT treats the verb as pushing with the characteristic result that the object falls.

The one point on which the lexica diverge is derivational rather than semantic: whether the geminate forms belong to a byform דחח standing alongside דחה. STEPBible's lexicon keeps both headwords under the single Strong's number, which is the treatment followed here; no lexicon assigns the two a different meaning, so the split affects the etymology rather than the gloss. Supporting evidence for the fall as the verb's characteristic goal is the derived noun דְּחִי "a stumbling, a fall" (Psa 56:13; 116:8) and the construction in Psa 140:4, where the object is פְּעָמַי, the speaker's steps.

Commentators debate the syntax of Prov 14:32a, where the wicked is thrust down בְּרָעָתוֹ, either by his own evil or in the midst of it, and whether the Septuagint's reading of the second colon reflects a different Hebrew text. Neither question touches the meaning of the verb. In the Septuagint the verb is regularly rendered by ὠθέω and its compounds, most often ἀπωθέω, which remains the closest Greek counterpart.
