Default Not starting

Have a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500. It started up fine all week. Let it sit for a long time and forgot interior lights on. Went to start and battery was dead. I jumped it and it started. I cut it off. Then tried starting again and nothing. I turn the key on and all dash lights come on but nothing I don’t hear the normal starter click either. I’ve tried the under hood ignition relay but can’t seem to figure it out. Any help?

Didn’t let it run enough to charge the battery back up. Jump it again and go for a 30 minute drive.

You need to charge the battery with a battery charger. The truck's charging is system may not be sufficient to bring it back. Its key to get the battery fully charged ASAP. ..
