Now when Ammon and his brethren saw this work of destruction

among those whom they so dearly beloved,

and among those who had so dearly beloved them —

for they were treated as though they were angels sent from God

to save them from everlasting destruction —

therefore, when Ammon and his brethren saw this great work of destruction,

they were moved with compassion,

and they said unto the king:

and took possession of the land of Jershon;

and they were called by the Nephites the people of Ammon;

therefore they were distinguished by that name ever after.

and they were firm in the faith of Christ, even unto the end.

And thus they were a zealous and beloved people,

a highly favored people of the Lord.
