Discharging the battery to zero volts may have ruined it. Also letting the alternator charge a totally dead battery after a jump start is very hard on the alternator. Do as tennisshoes suggested.

Thank you , I took battery out and took to O’Reilly to have checked and it had a bad cell & replaced it
