Drown:

(Exd 15:4; Amo 8:8; Hbr 11:29). Drowning was a mode of capital punishment in use among the Syrians, and was known to the Jews in the time of our Lord. To this he alludes in Mat 18:6.

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g1036 Greek: buthizo

Drown:

"to plunge into the deep, to sink" (buthos, "bottom, the deep, the sea"), akin to bathos, "depth," and abussos, "bottomless," and Eng., "bath," is used in Luk 5:7 of the "sinking" of a boat; metaphorically in 1Ti 6:9, of the effect of foolish and hurtful lusts, which "drown men in destruction and perdition."
See SINK.
