Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher

Asher received the fifth lot at Joshua 19:24. Judges 1:31 records that Asher failed to drive out the people of Acco, Sidon and other towns inside its share. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown observe at verse 2 that Israel never held all the land within these borders.
