take the battery to a battery store or an auto parts store where they can load test it. have them test it three times in a row. I have seen batteries test good two times back to back, then fail on the third.
 
You can also pull the solenoid cover and, with a plastic handle, push in firmly on the solenoid. If the starter spins up then you have a starter circuit issue somewhere. If it doesn't spin right up then you have a battery issue, likely, or possibly a starter issue.
