Is God sovereign over men? Yes even kings. He uses the mighty for His glory. Read this account in Isaiah. Isaiah 10:2, 5-12 NKJV [5] Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger And the staff in whose hand is My indignation. [6] I will send him against an ungodly nation, And against the people of My wrath I will give him charge, To seize the spoil, to take the prey, And to tread them down like the mire of the streets. [7] Yet he does not mean so, Nor does his heart think so; But it is in his heart to destroy, And cut off not a few nations. [8] For he says, Are not my princes altogether kings? [9] Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus? [10] As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, Whose carved images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria, [11] As I have done to Samaria and her idols, Shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols? [12] Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Lord has performed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks. Astounding isnt it? God used Assyria to punish Israel. He then punishes Assyria for being proud and thinking it was their idea and strength to do so. Our God is an awesome God! Oh thank you Lord for reconciling us to Yourself through your Son!
