Why does my Jeep Batte not start after a jump?

I got a jump and it started fine so I drove around for errands. Turned it off to go in a store, came out an hour later – dead battery. Got a jump and it started. Drove home. About 2 hours later I tried to leave and it wouldn’t start. Got a jump again and it started but now won’t crank again.
