The car is a 5-speed I tried bump starting it and it did nothing. Can somebody please help me figure out this issue

I didn't disconnect the battery. But I went back down. About an hour later and the lights came on until I tried to start it. And then it clicked and went back to doing nothing

Any newer vehicle with a ECM/computer has to have some juice in the battery to crank up even if rolling it off dumping the clutch.
