Verbs taking the Dative
The Dative case is used following many verbs which are intransitive in Latin. In English, we “forgive someone,” “believe someone,” or “obey someone.” In Latin, however, the equivalent ideas would be to “give forgiveness to someone,” “give credence to someone,” or “pay heed to someone.” The following verbs usually take the Dative in Latin: credere, to believe; evangelizare, to preach the gospel; ignoscere/remittere, to pardon; imperare, to command; nocere, to injure; obedire, to obey; parcere, to spare; placere, to please; resistere, to resist; servire, to serve; suadere, to persuade.
Some verbs that are followed by a Dative in Classical Latin are followed by an Accusative in Ecclesiastical Latin.
Credere is often followed by in with the Accusative, benedicere and maledicere are followed either by the Dative or the Accusative.
Compound verbs + Dative
Verbs compounded with a preposition are usually followed by a Dative, especially compounds of esse.
