What's the battery voltage with the engine off and with it running after a jump-start, (and jumper cables removed).the battery shold read at least 12.4 and have it load tested. if battery ok then hit starter on body with a hammer while trying to start, if it turns over you need a starter, otherwise you need to have starter load tested as well. make sure starter has same voltage as battery as it could be a cable bad as well.
