Bukki, a high priest, was the son of Abishua and the father of Uzzi in the lineage of Aaron.
Bukki was a high priest in Israel, the son of Abishua and the father of Uzzi in the Aaronide genealogy of 1 Chronicles 6:5, 51. He appears in the priestly lineage that the Chronicler traces from Aaron through Eleazar, placing Bukki in the period of the Divided Monarchy. His position in the high-priestly succession was important for establishing the legitimate chain of Aaronide authority that the post-exilic community traced back to Aaron himself.
