Have the battery and alternator tested, but before you do this clean the battery terminals where they contact the inside of the post. connection. corrosion can cause excessive electrical resistance, causing a problem. Most auto parts stores will test for free.

If that happened any you ran the car for reasonable time the battery did not take a charge. If the battery is simply low you would hear the solenoid click when you turn the key. If nothing then the battery is discharged, bad, or the voltage regulator is not trying to charge the battery and has failed.
If the battery is original it almost surely needs to be replaced. Anyplace that sells batteries has a tester that can tell in seconds.

If your on the original battery sir your over do for a new one. It sounds exactly like a bad cell in the battery shorting out and in turn not delivering 13 volts to your starter solenoid.

You have a flat battery - I'd recharge it or get a new one. Jumping will only provide the necessary charge to restart it if the car moves a significant distance without being shut off, and even then it'll only be a little off flat.

did you replace the battery? Check the terminals, the wires.
