We have, and it is.  KGT p.184:

juDev 'ej Dujvam ra'wI' DagheS 'e' vItlhob.
I ask you to lead us as commander of this ship.
"I request that you lead us and that you assume the duties of commander of
this ship."

{'e'} is the thing requested.

By the way, this sentence also shows that two conjoined sentences may count
as one sentence to a Sentence as Object.
