In Exodus, he battles biblical kingdom (5)

I believe the answer is:

sheba

'biblical kingdom' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in exodus he battles' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'SHEBA' is hidden within 'exodus he battles'.

(Other definitions for sheba that I've seen before include "Ancient name of South Yemen" , "Old Yemen kingdom, its queen visited Solomon" , "Ancient Kingdom of the Sabeans" , "Solomon's guest" , "Hence Queen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
