Its queen visited Solomon and she took a sailor back (5)
I believe the answer is:
sheba
'its queen visited solomon' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'she took a sailor back' is the wordplay.
'took' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a sailor' becomes 'ab' (abbreviation for able seaman).
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'ab' written backwards gives 'ba'.
'she'+'ba'='SHEBA'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for sheba that I've seen before include "Biblical queen's realm" , "Biblical kingdom" , "Biblical queendom" , "Queen in the Bible unnamed except for her country; Balkis or Bilkis in the Quran" , "OT Queen" .)
