Bilbo took the Arkenstone. It was the treasure Thorin desired most.
When Thorin learned of Bilbo's treachery he kicked him out and said that the 1/14 share promised to Bilbo would be used to buy back the Arkenstone. He figured Bilbo would get little of it.
He forgives Bilbo for stealing the Arkenstone, and then tells Bilbo that everyone should be like the hobbits: more concerned with comfort than with treasure. Then Thorin dies. He is buried with the Arkenstone, and Dain, Thorin's cousin, is proclaimed the new king.
When they first get to the treasure trove. Thorin gives it to Bilbo as part of his payment.
Thorin was dying, he had been mortally wounded in the Battle of Five Armies. He wanted to make his peace with Bilbo before he died. Bilbo was found and brought to him just in time.
