In each sentence there is a dative, and in each a verb combined with a
preposition. In no case would the simple verb take the dative.

_426._ RULE. Dative with Compounds. _Some verbs compounded with /ad\,
/ante\, /con\, /de\, /in\, /inter\, /ob\, /post\, /prae\, /pro\, /sub\,
/super\, admit the dative of the indirect object. Transitive compounds
may take both an accusative and a dative._

NOTE 1. Among such verbs are[1]

ad'fero, adfer're, at'tuli, adla'tus, _bring to; report_
ad'sum, ades'se, ad'fui, adfutu'rus, _assist; be present_
de'fero, defer're, de'tuli, delatus, _report; grant, confer_
de'sum, dees'se, de'fui,----, _be wanting, be lacking_
in'fero, infer're, in'tuli, inla'tus, _bring against, bring upon_

praefi'cio, praefi'cere, praefe'ci, praefec'tus, _appoint over,
place in command of_
prae'sum, praees'se, prae'fui, ----, _be over, be in command_

[Footnote 1: But the accusative with /ad\ or /in\ is used with some
of these, when the idea of _motion to_ or _against_ is strong.]
