Al-Saba

Saba’ (Arabic: سبأ, saba’; from the city called "Sheba") is the 34th chapter of the Qur'an with 54 verses. It discusses the lives of Solomon and David, a story about the people of Sheba, challenges and warnings against the disbelievers as well as the promises related to the Day of Judgment

Regarding the timing and contextual background of the believed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it has been revealed in Mecca, instead of later in Medina
