I'm pretty sure he was anything but righteous BUT God moves the pieces on the chessboard of life to fulfill His will. He used the Assyrians to bring judgement on the nation of Israel. He used the Babylonians to bring judgement on Judah. He used the Romans to judge Judah again while at the same time dispersing the people through out the empire and spreading Christianity by doing so.
