If the motor doesn't crank the battery is probably dead so put it on charge.

Well it could also be that the jumper cables weren't making good connection, or your starter/solenoid is faulty, or your ignition switch is faulty, or there are bad connections in your cranking circuit (the heavy cables going from the battery to the starter motor and engine block.

"I checked all the wires coil"
I assume you mean the spark plug (high tension) wires. These won't affect the cranking of the engine, even if they're missing!
