The men tried to unravel the riddle for 3 days, to no avail:

Judges 14:14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.

The men were not to be out witted and decided to use his wife to get the solution - threatening her family with violence:

Judges 14:15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?

The wife fearful for her and her families lives, under duress, caved into their threats and convinced Samson to give her the answer:

Judges 14:17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.

Judges 14:19 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75411797


Samson was betrayed once again:

Judges 14:20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend
