In the novel, the five armies are the dwarves, elves, and men, versus the goblins/orcs, and wargs. This is different from the movie adaptation, in which there were two seperate orc forces.
Elves, men and Dwarves on one side with the wargs and the goblins on the other. The Eagles also show up later.
It was the Battle of Five Armies. The armies were the humans, elves and dwarves against the wargs and the goblins.
Chapter 17, The Clouds Burst.

It would be at the Battle of the Five Armies, almost the end of the book. He and his brother die defending their uncle Thorin Oakenshield.
Chapter 17 ('The Clouds Burst') of The Hobbit, covers the Battle of the Five Armies. As is the way of battles, many died, "among the goblin dead lay many men and many dwarves, and many a fair elf that should have lived yet long ages merrily in the wood."Fili and Kili, two of the dwarves in the Company died defending Thorin, their uncle in this battle, though their death was not revealed until Chapter 18. Thorin was mortally wounded in the Battle of the Five Armies, and died shortly after.
