Tormah
Smith's Bible Dictionary [1]
Tor'mah. Tormah occurs only in the margin of Judges 9:31. By a few commentators, it has been conjectured that, the word was originally, the same with Arumah in Judges 9:41. See Arumah .
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [2]
TORMAH . In the margin of Judges 9:31 ‘in Tormah’ is given as an alternative rendering of the Hebrew word translated ‘craftily’ (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘privily’). Some commentators have suggested that Tormah is a corruption of Arumah ( Judges 9:41 ).
Fausset's Bible Dictionary [3]
Judges 9:31, margin for "privily." The Septuagint, Chaldee, and Rashi translated "secretly"; Hebrew "in deceit," as he had listened to the speech quietly with apparent assent. But Kimchi "in Tormah" a misspelling for Arumah ( Judges 9:41).
