425. The dative is the case of the indirect object.  Many intransitive verbs take an indirect object and are therefore used with the dative (cf.  Sec. 153).  Transitive verbs take a direct object in the accusative; but sometimes they have an indirect object or dative as well. The whole question, then, as to whether or not a verb takes the dative, defends upon its capacity for governing an indirect object. A number of verbs, some transitive and some intransitive, which in their simple form would not take an indirect object, when compounded with certain prepositions, have a meaning which calls for an indirect object.  Observe the following sentences: 

  1.  Haec res exercitui magnam calamitatem attulit, this circumstance
  brought great disaster to the army.

  2.  Germani Gallis bellum inferunt, the Germans make war upon the
  Gauls.

  3.  Hae copiae proelio non intererant, these troops did not take
  part in the battle.
