The Dative and Accusative forms of the pronoun are identical. Him may be a direct object - Shoot him! - or an indirect object - Give him the book.
Him is direct object
Clarification: In English vocabulary, the difference between the direct object and the indirect object form is insignificant; they are the same word.
There are only two forms of personal pronouns in English: subjective and objective:
I/me, you/you, he/him, she/her, it/it, we/us, they/them.
(Note that the expressions "dative" and "accusative" do no apply to English grammar. English and Dutch are derived from Old LOW German and have lost the noun-declension feature--the "case system". Germanic languages derived from Old HIGH German still maintain an elaborate case system, as do the slavic languages, Latin, and others.)
