Fetch Matthew Henry's commentary on a verse or verse range — a foundational, widely-cited Protestant exegetical work. Returns the full text MH wrote, never truncated. Pass `verse` alone for the chunk covering that verse (MH commentates on ranges, so this often returns content for surrounding verses too). Pass `verse_end` ALSO for a chapter or passage sweep — every overlapping chunk at full text. If the requested range is too large (>200K chars total, e.g. all of Psalm 119, or a whole-book request), the tool returns `mode: range_too_large` with a focus prompt — ASK THE USER which chapter or passage to focus on rather than calling repeatedly. Quote directly with attribution; never paraphrase from training. Peer of get_commentary_section, not a fallback. Call it when the question concerns a verse's meaning, theology, or application.
