Hadn't driven car in 2 days. Battery was low (2 year old battery and no accessories seemed to be left on). When jumped (easily)car started, but stalled after a few seconds. This happened several itmes and then I quit trying.

I would get the battery tested and make sure the battery cables are clean and tight.You could have a bad battery causing all the issues.After you get it running then have the alternator tested.
