The starter solenoid is likely fried, that's where the exciter wire attaches. You can't charge the dead battery because it's dead, not near-dead. And because it won't take a charge, the cables collect resistance and heat up. Jumping a car can cause this.

Shorted battery, when that happens they will not jump or take a charge.
