How many wise men are there?
According to the song, three.
Do we know anything else?
They gave gold, myrrh, and frankincense, and are from the east.
It's from the songs that we "know" the
Number of them & whether they are kings.

We have no idea how many there were. There were three gifts mentioned, but that could be because they were germane to prophesy; there probably were more than those mentioned. We also do not know they were kings; the Bible mentions "wise men", but no indication of their status other than they were astronomers.
Well wishes in the contest.
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!
Hee hee, thanks for the "clappy dude"!
Yeah, my point was that most of the things we "know" about the wise men comes from the songs we know & not from anywhere in any bible.
