I've this xml

<root>
    <node1>
        <node2>xxx</node2>
    </node1>
    ...
    <node1>
        <node2>yyy ABC yyy</node2>
    </node1>
    ...
    <node1>
        <node2>zzz</node2>
    </node1>
</root>

I want to get node1 that has a node2 containing the text ABC.
Is it possible to achieve this using XPath?
