You had a bad connection on one of the jumper cable clamps or you didn't wait long enough. When a battery is that far run down, it will take about 15 minutes on a battery charger before the acid becomes conductive and the battery STARTS to take a charge. Use a battery charger to charge the battery at a slow rate for an hour, then have the car's charging system tested.
