If you are referring to the book "The Hobbit," we aren't told exactly. We do know that elves and dwarves had a long-standing grudge against each other. But it does seem as if the elves were trying to trap them, or at least to create an excuse for taking them prisoner. The elves in "The Hobbit" were more like the elves in Celtic folklore - silly, tricky, deceitful little fairies - than the regal, mysterious elves in "The Lord of the Rings." Legolas was a Mirkwood elf, one of the people that the dwarves encountered in "The Hobbit," and was not considered the equal of the Lorien elves.
They took them to the halls of the Elven King in his hall, a large cave at the edge of Mirkwood. The wood elves of Mirkwood, in the Hobbit, took the thirteen dwarves to their king's halls, where they were locked in by cellars and a magic gate.
The elves in "The Hobbit" did not know how the dwarves could have travelled there. They thought the barrels were all empty.
It was the Battle of Five Armies. The armies were the humans, elves and dwarves against the wargs and the goblins.
{| |- | In Chapter 9 of The Hobbit, the dwarves were captured by the elves. They had just escaped from the spiders in the previous chapter and were wandering around the forest. They were hungry and looking for food when they encountered the elves' feasting in the woods. After several failed attempts to 'crash the party' they were all captured, except Bilbo, who used his ring to escape. |}

The dwarves were drawn together with the elves and the men of Esgaroth during the Battle of the Five Armies, which took place in J.R.R. Tolkien's novel "The Hobbit."
The feud between dwarves and elves in The Hobbit stems from historical grievances and differing values. Dwarves are driven by a desire for treasure and wealth, leading to conflicts with the elves who prioritize preservation of nature and cultural differences. These differences result in deep-rooted animosity between the two races that persists throughout the story.
In The Hobbit, they are simply identified as "Wood Elves". Later, they were further identified as being Silvan Elves led by the Sindar, Thranduil (who is the father of Legolas).
