Why does Thorin refuse Bard his requests for treasure in The Hobbit?
Thorin was a proud and stubborn dwarf, and like all dwarves was a bit too fond of his gold. The notion of sharing his fathers' hard won treasure with anyone, even the Lake Men, was not to be borne.Basically Thorin is overwhelmed by greed for the wealth of Smaug's hoard. There is far more wealth than he could possibly use, but rather than share it with his neighbours, he wants it all to himself.But although this is at the bottom of his behaviour, there is some sense in his anger. He must feel like a man who has won the lottery, and all of a sudden, everyone is his friend and wants a piece of the winnings. Indeed there can be no doubt that that is exactly why Bard and the Elvenking have come to the mountain, believing Thorin and his companions to be dead. Greed is pretty high in their minds too. Thorin's response to the Elvenking is particularly telling--why should Thorin be nice to a guy who locked him in the dungeons. (Ironically, Thorin was apprehended by the elves for begging)

Why did the elves kidnap Thorin?
The elves kidnapped Thorin because they wanted to prevent him from entering the Woodland Realm and escalating tensions over the treasure from the Lonely Mountain. Thorin's insistence on claiming a share of the treasure, particularly the Arkenstone, posed a threat to the elves' peace and interests. The elves, led by King Thranduil, sought to negotiate and maintain order, believing that detaining Thorin would help achieve this goal. Ultimately, the elves aimed to protect their realm and secure their own claims over the treasures of Middle-earth.

What is the difference between dain gift and Thorin's promises to bard and the Lake-men?
The Dain gift refers to the treasure given by Dain Ironfoot, the King under the Mountain, as a gesture of goodwill and reconciliation after the Battle of the Five Armies, intended to unite the peoples of Middle-earth. In contrast, Thorin's promises to Bard and the Lake-men were made earlier, when he pledged to share some of the treasure in return for their aid against the goblins and wargs. While Dain's gift is an act of magnanimity following conflict, Thorin's promises stem from a more transactional and strategic approach to securing alliances. Ultimately, Dain's gift emphasizes healing and cooperation, whereas Thorin's commitments highlight the complexities of trust and negotiation in times of strife.
