That doesn't mean there is enough juice to run the starter. You can get accessories that take little draw from the battery to work but major ones (like the starter and glow plugs) not to work. It may be is something else, but what you did doesn't eliminate a low charge on the battery as a contributor.

I would still charge the battery or try to jump it. When you try to start it next (and get the starter spinning) let the glow plugs go for 30 seconds before you try starting it.
