Default Starter issue

Good evening everyone.

Well I have recently purchased a 97 XJ. I am jumping off the Wrangler ship and am planning a build on this Jeep. I was working on some transmission line issues this evening, and after I was thru I tried to start the Jeep to take it for a short test drive. The starter was turning slow. Shut the key off and tried again and it had about nothing in it. Then it was totally out. I let it sit for a couple minutes, then tried again, and it started. Is this a sign of a soon to be dead starter or possibly something else. I am not much of an electrical guy. The battery is new. Any advice would be very helpful.

Thanks
