The ancestors of saber toothed cats and lions diverged at least 23 million years ago. Although they both belong to the family Felidae, they are part of different subfamilies, lions belonging to the Pantherinae subfamily, but saber toothed cats belonged to the Maicharodontinae subfamily.
Long and the short of it, saber toothed cats and lions belong to the same family, but tigers, leopards, and jaguars are far more closely related to lions than they were to saber toothed cats.
