You need good connections to your battery posts to crank the car. Loose connections will run the accessories and lights, but you need amperage to turn the starter.
At face value, that 13V reading would indicate a fully charged battery. I would see if either of the battery post clamps are loose. Then disconnect and clean them up prior to reconnecting. If you got it partially cranking with a jump start earlier, none of what I suggested about fuses and relays is the likely problem. You are just not getting enough power to your starter.
This is possible. Batteries can fail in strange ways.
