A share in Smaug's treasure and adventure.
Thorin is a dwarf, and they love treasure. They finally get their mountain and then here comes humans tramping along, wanting a share in it. To Thorin and company, they just certainly could not have sticky human fingers all over their precious treasure. What can you say, they're dwarves!
He was thankful towards Bilbo as he had just received the greatest treasure in that can be found in the Lonely Mountain and was now able to try make a deal with Thorin Oakensheild for a share of the treasure to rebuilt lake town.
Goes to the Lonely mountain to collect his share of the treasure for the Town but then Thorin doesn't want to give any of the treasure up ans thus is the beginning of the armies of the five war- for more detail look into chapters 16-19
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)

Bard keeps the arkenstone and will give it back to Thorin later if he can receive part of the share
The coat of mithril is given to Bilbo Baggins. It is part of his share of the treasure and is given to him by Thorin. It was probably made for an elf child.
Bilbo claimed that under the terms of the contract he was due a proportion of the dragon's treasure, and that he had taken the Arkenstone as his share.

Thorin has become affected by 'dragon greed'. Just like Smaug, he is loathe to part with a single coin or cup.
as thorin is dieing he forgives himThorin realized that Bilbo was correct. Fighting over gold wasn't the way to happiness. Enjoying the richness of life with a pipe in front of a warm fire surrounded by friends was the way to happiness.
Bilbo found the Arkenstone in Smaug's treasure chamber.
Thorin was captured by Thranduil, the Elvenking, in "The Hobbit" because Thranduil believed Thorin's party, which included Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf, were thieves trying to enter his kingdom without permission. Thorin's refusal to share information about their quest to reclaim Erebor also fueled tensions leading to his capture.
We all know that Bilbo had no use or interest for the treasure at all. He got coaxed into going along on this adventure but really he would have rather stayed in his hobbit hole and went about is usual business. Even when he is coming up with a plan to get into the mountain he is wishing he were at home where he was safe and had plenty of food and water. Before the journey even started he was in it as a business deal and he really did not care about his fourteenth share.
