Unlike the three Kings that are often pictured with Nativity scenes, the wise men from the Bible were from "the East," most likely Persia; men who studied the prophecies of Daniel; and a priestly tribe called Magi. Most likely there were more than three men, and they arrived months or years after Jesus' birth. So what is the point of their story? They were Gentiles who traveled close to a thousand miles to worship the infant King. Jesus was there in Bethlehem for the Jews to meet and worship. However, God's own people were not there to praise Jesus, but these men from far away came to acknowledge Him as King.
