ִרְבוּ אֵלַי שִׁמְעוּ־זֹאת לֹא מֵרֹאשׁ בַּסֵּתֶר דִּבַּרְתִּי מֵעֵת הֱיֹותָהּ שָׁם אָנִי וְעַתָּה אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה שְׁלָחַנִי וְרוּחֹו׃

I am especially interested in the last phrase, וְרוּחֹו Should it be translated as a subject, or as a direct object? I would expect the direct object marker, but apparently that's optional with the waw? Of ancient translators, Jerome took it as a subject, the LXX is ambiguous.
