Kings in Beowulf were very powerful due to the relationship they had with their warriors known as comitatus. The exchange between Hrothgar and his warriors was made up of how Hrothgar would give them shelter and gfood, and the warriors would keep him safe and protect him.
Yes, Beowulf gives Grendel's head and the hilt of the magic giant's sword to Hrothgar, and Hrothgar gives Beowulf treasure and gold, new golden chain mail, horses and weapons. Hrothgar also gives the men who sailed with Beowulf treasure-gifts. These treasures are given to Beowulf after both the fight with Grendel and the fight with Grendel's mother. After he defeats Grendel's mother, Beowulf sails home with his men and his treasures.
