Ammon ends his discourse by reflecting on the accusation that he was boasting. His statement is: “now if this is boasting, even so will I boast.” Ammon has declared that it was not through individual merit that the mission succeeded, but it was because of God’s plans. It is also important that Ammon understands that this story of the conversion of the “natural man” Lamanites into the “spiritual man” Anti-Nephi-Lehies can be a lesson for all the earth: “God is mindful of every people, whatsoever land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth.”
Ammon ends with the testificatory Amen. That is the trigger that ended this chapter. As an Amen ending, it did end a chapter in the 1830 edition.
