Persons Of The Bible -- Uzzi
The name "Uzzi" means "the Lord is my strength."
The name also means "strong".
There are various persons named "Uzzi' in the Old Testament.
1. Son of Bukki and father of Zerahiah, a descendant of Aaron, in the
line of the high priests. (1 Chronicles 6:5,61; Ezra 7:4) Though Uzzi
was the lineal ancestor of Zadok, it does not appear that he was ever
high priest. He must have been contemporary with, but rather earlier
than, Eli. (B.C. before 1161.)
2. A grandson of Issachar, Son of Tola. (1 Chronicles 7:2,3) (B.C.
1706.)
3. A son of Bela, and grandson of Benjamin of the tribe of Benjamin. (1
Chronicles 7:7) (B.C. 1706.)
4. A Benjamite, a chief in the tribe of Benjamin, from whom descended
some Benjamite houses, which were settled at Jerusalem after the return
from captivity. (1 Chronicles 9:8)
5. A Levite, son of Bani and overseer of the Levites dwelling at
Jerusalem, in the time of Nehemiah. (Nehemiah 11:22)
6. A priest, chief of the father's house of Jedaiah, in the time of
Joiakim the high priest. (Nehemiah 12:19) (B.C. about 500.)
7. One of the priests who assisted Ezra in the dedication of the wall of
Jerusalem. (Nehemiah 12:42) Perhaps the same as the preceding. (B.C.
446.)
