the Jewish prisoners.  The slave Abigaille, who claims to be Fenena's
sister, also loves Ismaele and masterminds a vengeful plot to imprison
Nabucco and steal the crown of Jerusalem herself.  In his cell, Nabucco
dreams that Fenena is about to be executed, but he escapes in time to
free her and also converts to Judaism as a repentant Abigaille poisons
herself.
