Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g2578 Greek: kampto

Bow, Bowed (Verb):

"to bend," is used especially of bending the knees in religious veneration, Rom 11:4; 14:11; Eph 3:14; Phl 2:10.

2 Strong's Number: g4781 Greek: sunkampto

Bow, Bowed (Verb):

signifies "to bend completely together, to bend down by compulsory force," Rom 11:10.

3 Strong's Number: g4794 Greek: sunkupto

Bow, Bowed (Verb):

"to bow together" (sun, "together with," kupto, "to bow"), is said, in Luk 13:11, of the woman crippled with a physical infirmity.

4 Strong's Number: g2827 Greek: klino

Bow, Bowed (Verb):

"to incline, to bow down," is used of the women who in their fright "bowed" their faces to the earth at the Lord's empty tomb, Luk 24:5; of the act of the Lord on the Cross immediately before giving up His Spirit. What is indicated in the statement "He bowed His head," is not the helpless dropping of the head after death, but the deliberate putting of His head into a position of rest, Jhn 19:30. The verb is deeply significant here. The Lord reversed the natural order. The same verb is used in His statement in Mat 8:20; Luk 9:58, "the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head." It is used, too, of the decline of day, Luk 9:12; 24:29; of turning enemies to flight, Hbr 11:34.
See LAY, SPENT. No. 7, TURN, WEAR.

5 Strong's Number: g5087 Greek: tithemi

Bow, Bowed (Verb):

"to put, or place," is said of the soldiers who mockingly bowed their knees to Christ, Mar 15:19.
See APPOINT.

Note: For gonupeteo, "to bow the knee," Mat 27:29, see KNEEL.
