I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'biblical dog country?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sheba that I've seen before include "Old South Arabian kingdom" , "Solomon's guest" , "The Arrival of the Queen of - (Handel's Solomon)" , "OT Queen" , "Ancient name of South Yemen" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
