Sounds like a battery. Bad cell...
Pull it out - noting the "+" and "-" positions on the battery and which cable is which...
Take it to your local parts place and have them load test it.
It will probably fail...
If you purchase a new battery like an Optima style - be sure to slow charge it overnight after installation....
Good detective work...
BTW: The idea behind the jumper cable was to agument the existing ground on your car with the temporary jumper cable (negative battery to one side and chassis to the other)...If the car then started normally, your problem was the negative battery cable...Quite a few cars have had a loose or improperly crimped ground cables...It's a quick and cheap test.
