Biblical misconceptions can form their own category, there are so many of them. For instance:
There were three wise men at the nativity, sometimes called the three kings. The gospels only say that there were "men from the east," never that there were three, that they were wise or that they were kings.
Delilah cut Samson's hair. The Book of Judges says plainly that Delilah called in "a man" to clip Samson's locks.
Adam and Eve unwisely ate an apple. Genesis only says "fruit."
This could go on and on.
