They wanted to know his weak points.So, in a quiet moment, Delilah asked him directly what his weak points were!

Then she summons one of the enemy into the room, and....

In order to keep his fellow Israelites out of harm from the Philistines, Shimshon (Samson) decided to harass the Philistines from inside their own community, while mixing with them and marrying Delilah. This was a risky route to adopt (Talmud, Sotah 9b), and he paid a price.
