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?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77098590


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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76851327


This betrayal angered Samson and bears witness to his God given purpose in life - to slowly but surely weaken the Philistines:

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
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76631018


Each betrayal brought severe reprisals - and there were many:

Judges 15:4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.

5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
