From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Asher
     happy, Jacob's eigth son; his mother was Zilpah, Leah's handmaid
     (Gen. 30:13). Of the tribe founded by him nothing is recorded
     beyond its holding a place in the list of the tribes (35:26;
     46:17; Ex. 1:4, etc.) It increased in numbers twenty-nine
     percent, during the thirty-eight years' wanderings. The place of


     this tribe during the march through the desert was between Dan
     and Naphtali (Num. 2:27). The boundaries of the inheritance
     given to it, which contained some of the richest soil in
     Palestine, and the names of its towns, are recorded in Josh.
     19:24-31; Judg. 1:31, 32. Asher and Simeon were the only tribes
     west of the Jordan which furnished no hero or judge for the
     nation. Anna the prophetess was of this tribe (Luke 2:36).
