Sounds like the battery just needs charged, or replaced.

Put some fresh gas in afterwards and try to fire 'er up

Yeah I agree completely with the gas issue, theres probably a lot of water in ur gas cuz the person who sold it to you probably had it sitting for a while and didnt fill it up before letting it sit so water built up in the tank. As for the car starting, thats probably the battery because you said it was fine when you jumped it. Batteries are no real big deal.
