For, behold, the LORD commandeth, And the great house shall be smitten into splinters, And the little house into chips.

Rashi on Amos

chips—Larger than splinters. According to its prominence, shall be its destruction. In this manner did Jonathan render: And he shall smite the large kingdom with a mighty blow, and the small kingdom with a weak blow.
