Is it:
'They beckoned him'
or
'They beckoned to him'
??
No matter which one I put, I keep convincing myself it's the other one.
Is 'to him' implied, if I say 'They beckoned.'
I think simplest is: 'They beckoned.'
'They beckoned to him,' may be correct, but the 'to him is not needed. I think 'They beckoned him' is flat out wrong. (I think I am confusing beckon with summon.)
