The first thing you need to do is full recharge the battery. Have it load tested at a parts store. Most will do it for free. If the battery tests good, reinstall it in the vehicle. If the vehicle starts, have the alternator checked to make sure it is recharging the battery.
Now, based on your description, it sounds like a bad fuel pump to me. I feel (but I'm not there) the battery going dead may be the result of trying to start it so many times. Often times a bad fuel pump will do exactly what you described. Check the fuel pump. Go to our home page under the DIY section for directions and a video. You will need a fuel pressure gauge, but most parts stores will lend one to you. Check that and confirm that the pressure is within spec.
