“For he and his brothers” or “for him and his brothers”?

The whole phrase is, “young Frank stole a large bundle of bananas for (himself or he) and his brothers,” if that helps any. Other than that, just as the question asks.

Thanks in advance!

(I’m super paranoid about grammar. xD)

For him, or for himself.

“He” is used when he’s the subject of the sentence. “Him” is used when he is the direct object of a sentence.

he….he is an object pronoun. For a good idea on choosing pronouns in this type of sentence, just leave out the “and …”. the sentence then becomes, “Young Frank stole a large bundle of bananas for (He or Himself).
