Weird starting issue

Car: 1998 Acura CL 3.0
Problem: car is still warm,won't start, lights are on but very dim, clicking noise (which is the starter)when key turned to start, jumped battery and it started fine

At this point, put charger on it and said 90 percent going to charge to 100(charger shuts off when battery hits 100 percent) and see if it starts in the morning.

any suggestions on what it can be? alternator? starter?

I'm leaning towards alternator being bad.
