Is there a difference between The Three Great Kings of Israel and the Three Wise Kings? Or are they the same?
If they are different who are "The Three Great Kings of Israel" and don't say they are the threee kings of Isael?
HELP!!!!

Thre three wise men were astrologers.
Wise men, or Magi, led by a star
Those Magi were actually astrologers from the east. (Matt. 2:1, 2, NW; NE) Although astrology is popular among many people today, the practice is strongly disapproved in the Bible. (See pages 144, 145, under the main heading “Fate.”) Would God have led to the newborn Jesus persons whose practices He condemned?
Matthew 2:1-16 shows that the star led the astrologers first to King Herod and then to Jesus and that Herod then sought to have Jesus killed. No mention is made that anyone other than the astrologers saw the “star.” After they left, Jehovah’s angel warned Joseph to flee to Egypt to safeguard the child. Was that “star” a sign from God or was it from someone who was seeking to have God’s Son destroyed?
Note that the Bible account does not say that they found the babe Jesus in a manger, as customarily depicted in Christmas art. When the astrologers arrived, Jesus and his parents were living in a house. As to Jesus’ age at that time, remember that, based on what Herod had learned from the astrologers, he decreed that all the boys in the district of Bethlehem two years of age and under were to be destroyed.—Matt. 2:1, 11, 16.

I think you'll need to explain your question better. What "three great kings of Israel" are you talking about; I've never heard of such?
And if you're referring to the wise men who visited Jesus at his birth, there is no reference to the number being three. That is myth; the Bible does not say how many there were. If this is your question, then there is no relation to any three great kings.
So, I really don't understand your question.

the three original kings of Israel were Saul, David and Solomon. After the death of Solomon, the ten northern tribes revolted and established the kingdom of Israel in the north. The remaining tribes remained loyal to the son of Solomon and formed the Kingdom of Judah in the south.

"Three Wise Kings" are not kings. It's the three wise MEN.
