No. There were many kings that came to see the young boy. They just assume this based on the number of gifts.

The bible doesn't say the number, but yes , Magi found the young child living in a house with his Mother.

It depends on what bible/version you read. Could have been 2 or 3 or 7. Could be magi or wisemen or rich dudes. Most versions usually suggest three.

It would not say what number. The notice used is plural, so there have been a minimum of two. the belief of three comes from later Catholic custom. i'm no longer paying for it, yet this is the place the belief comes from. ---------------------------------------... RE i've got faith it comes from the three presents they introduced. sure. The early Catholic iconography might prepare one clever guy with gold, one with frankincense, and one with myrrh. initially, it replace into meant to be a coaching gadget (no longer literal). Later, it replace into believed that there have been actually 3 clever adult males.

The Bible didn't say they were 3, the number was deduced from the gifts they presented to Christ (by the so-called scholars.)

The bible says many things. Almost all of it is taken from some place else. A lot was taken from Mythra, the story of creation was taken from the Sumerians. The flight to Bethlahem was taken from the Egyptian tale of Isis fleeing with her child. It goes on and on.
